Unionfs

[VA_DOS]

With this application you can combine shares mounted before into single storage and operate with it like with the single storage.

Here is the description from WDTVLive's net.mounts

Code: Select all

# combine previous xmounts using unionfs
# unionfs takes a colon delimited list of "ShareNames" and aggregates their content to the target
# directory structure is preserved
## the following is an example, it mounts 4 remote shares "hidden" so they
## are not visible in the OSD and then aggregates them.
## you hide an xmount by preceeding its "ShareName" with a .  (dot)
#xmount "192.168.0.44:/movies"   ".movies1"  nfs
#xmount "192.168.0.233:/stuff"   ".movies2"  nfs
#xmount "192.168.0.101:/movies3" ".movies3"  nfs
#xmount "192.168.0.151:/videos"  ".movies4"  nfs 
#xmount ".movies1:.movies2:.movies3:.movies4"  "ShareUnion"  unionfs

With this unionfs.app.bin you can do the same on your WDTV G1.

How I'm using it: I have a few network shares with similar directories tree, like:

Share1
|----Music
|----Photo
|----Video

Share2
|----Music
|----Photo
|----Video

So I could mount, combine and operate with them like with single share:

Code: Select all

xmount //192.168.0.1/Share ".share1" cifs "user=user,password=p@$$w0rd"
xmount //192.168.0.2/Share ".share2" cifs "user=user,password=p@$$w0rd"
xmount ".share1:.share2" MediaShare unionfs

NOTE: First share in unionfs's shares list MUST be writable!!!

Welcome!

Sorry for storage place, but this is only place I can guarantee that the file will exists for a long time.
