I am porting an MTP client to Haiku to access files on my Android phone. This comes with a FUSE backend that should be usable with userlandfs. I found that userlandfs currently implement FUSE 2, but this new software uses FUSE 3. I have started migrating userlandfs to implement the FUSE 3 API instead of FUSE2.
However, this means the following software would stop working as no FUSE 3 version is available yet:
curlftpfs
gphotofs
fusesmb-haiku
So I would like to know if someone uses one of these, and if we can find a way to not break things for them. Let me know if you need this software!
I’ve tried using fusesmb-haiku, but it is quite finicky (with password protected shares, spaces in paths, using IPs instead of hosts etc etc), and its SMBv1 which most modern systems just don’t support.
I use fusesmb-haiku for accessing files on my NAS. It isn’t perfect and I would be happy to use an alternative such as SFTP/sshfs if it could integrate with Tracker (if anyone has any suggestions?). Being able to discover shares in the GUI is important to me.
I use fusesmb, but it is indeed very finicky and annoying. It may be nicer to have a proper smb driver intree (I wanted to do that but haven’t gotten around to learning enough about it yet)
edit: mostly use it because the nfs driver is finicky too, and smb has worked where nfs did not
Then it doesn’t really help me: it’s still fuse 2 and will also get broken by this update.
Sshfs already has a fuse 3 version, I will be testing that soon.
That’s an option, but I don’t want to work on software that wasn’t updated in 15 years if no one is really using it. Also I don’t necessarily have servers available to test things here.
Sure, that is fine for us but not so good for casual users. I suppose it is not so important at the moment as there are other things (WiFi, screen brightness) in my bootscript already.
I use Haiku on a laptop (ThinkPad X230) and the brightness setting didn’t remain constant across reboots (not sure if this is a bug or expected behaviour). I added screenmode -b 0.2 to my UserBootscript as a workaround.
