Comments on Lessfs 1.5 On CentOS 5

Lessfs 1.5 On CentOS 5 For this HowTo I used a VirtualBox with CentOS 5.7 x86_64. I attached a separate 20GB Data drive mounted to /data. This will hold the lessfs DB and data. The lessfs mountpoint I put at /lessfs. This is a very basic setup, just to get it running. There is plenty of tuning to be done based on volume size, file types, and compression choices. The latest lessfs required more recent versions of fuse and tokyocabinet than was in the CentOS repository, so I chose to install most of this from source.

pls add postfix compilation in an easier way

Not sure I follow

is the data stored in /data or in /lessfs?

say I have an NDS export in etc/export with

/nas/GENERIC2           172.16.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async,no_wdelay)

and in my /etc/lessfs.cfg the standard stuff for /data/dta and /mta

In my init file the MOUNTPOINT=/nas

So where is really the data being stored? I only see /nas consumed with files and very little under /data
