bindfs in fstab

  • 772

I am struggling to get this to work properly.

This works in terminal

sudo bindfs -u dave /media/dave/Documentary2Lin/RAIDMain/Documentary2 ~/shares/Documentary2

How do I get this to work in fstab?

I've tried

/media/dave/Documentary2Lin/RAIDMain/Documentary2 ~/shares/Documentary2 fuse.bindfs force-user=dave perms=a=rX 0 0

It gives an error in fstab

mount

  1. I finally solved this by using the Upstart system to run all of my bindfs scripts after the file system has loaded.

    Create a file:

    /etc/init/mount-bindfs.conf

    With contents like:

    description "Remount directories with different permissions"

start on stopped mountall 

script
  bindfs -o force-user=dave perms=a=rX /media/dave/Documentary2Lin/RAIDMain/Documentary2 /home/dave/shares/Documentary2
end script

    According to the extensive and detailed how-to on Ubuntu Forums the correct syntax is something like this:

    bindfs#/media/dave/Documentary2Lin/RAIDMain/Documentary2 /home/dave/shares/Documentary2 fuse force-user=dave perms=a=rX 0 0

    But this does not work unless the shared directory is in the root partition.
