- Run in single-threaded mode for now until the system is made thread-safe Access for everyone - sudo ./mgridfs -s --host=localhost --port=27017 --db=rest --collprefix=ls --logfile=fs.log -o allow_other,default_permissions dummy Access only for mount user - ./mgridfs -s --host=localhost --port=27017 --db=rest --collprefix=ls --logfile=fs.log -dummy
For specific options that you would like to use with mgridfs, check "mgridfs --help" option on the command
- All known issues with using mongodb in a distributed environment i.e. lack of ACIDity across multiple documents
- Un-implemented features for file-system
- Thread-safety for multi-threaded FUSE usage
- fsck.mgridfs to fix hierarchy / permissions on the hierarchy. Data consistency checks cannot be done by this process and rather should be done someway in the MongoDB GridFS itself.
Using valgind, use something as follows (assuming mgridfs is in current directory and the mount point is dummy): valgrind --log-file=valgrind.log --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full --show-reachable=no --undef-value-errors=yes --track-origins=yes ./mgridfs -s --host=localhost --port=27017 --db=rest --collprefix=ls --loglevel=trace -o default_permissions -d dummy
