As root:

mkdir /media/avfs
avfsd -o allow_other /media/avfs

Then as root or user:

cd /media/avfs/home/user/archive.tar.gz#/
ls


I wonder what metalayer-crawler thinks of these though

Thanks again!

"Oh look at all those files I haven't indexed yet! You weren't using that processor, were you? Thanks, 'cause I'll need it for the next few hours."

ukki, I'm loving my new sshfs setup. I can stream MP3 audio from my home computer now, anywhere I can get wifi, just by double clicking on the song filename in filemanager. I haven't had any opportunity to test the NTFS module; I'll do that tonight, probably.

Glad to hear it. I'm toying with an idea of making a proper gui for sshfs and maybe others. Something like MacFusion.

NTFS doesn't seem to be a big hit. Maybe I was too late and everyone formatted to fat32 already. I only tested it with an ntfs usb stick I made under linux and have no use for it myself, but it would be nice to know if the driver is stable and usable.

I tested NTFS tonight. The first time I plugged in the USB hard drive, it couldn't find a file system, but I unplugged it and tried again, and it worked the second time.

Seems to work fine (viewed some pictures, watched some video, changed a file name), except for a strange bug where a very large (multi-gigabyte) mpeg2 video file wouldn't even 'ls' correctly because the file size seemed to be causing some sort of overflow. I didn't have time to find out just how large this file is, because I ran out of time...

I think NTFS will probably become a big hit. Just give people some time to discover this thread.

Installed all packages and it seems to have broken usb control. I will try some of the other scripts to see if it works with that. Can't use a usb thumbdrive that had worked and no luck on my external powered 120gb hdd. Will post back if I can make it work.

Sorry to hear that. Uninstalling the ntfs package should make it work normally again. Would have been nice to know what fails though. When you plug in the disk, can you mount it from an xterm as root?

mount.ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/usb/sda1

ukki,
I tried what you said and it gave a file system in use message. So I plugged it back into windows and did a safely remove hardware routine. It works just fine now. Mounts automatically. usbcontrol though is still broken. It only works by running scripts.
So cool to be able to move files around with out a computer. Now I just need a portable hub so I can do multiple items at once! Once my 8g mini sdhc gets here I'll be set for whatever I need to do!
Thanks for porting this!

PS for those that want the scripts follow the wiki here I used the 'Extras' App method. I would recomend this over usbcontrol until it is fixed. For those that are afraid of the command line it really isn't that bad. cp is copy and if you put it on internal memory card on the n810 you can find that at /media/mmc2
One more thing, I used http://nitapps.com/ root application. Very cool.

I wonder why would usb control break because of this, I really don't touch anything usb related. Also I recommend using usb-otg-plugin to switch between usb modes. You can find it from the garage.

The usbcontrol that broke was the app included in UMPK. It just switches usb from otg to host or peripheral Just wanted to clarify.
