filesystem

Filesystem example

Summary

This is a fuse filesystem using cockroach as a backing store. The implemented features attempt to be posix compliant. See main.go for more details, including implemented features and caveats.

Running

Run against an existing cockroach node or cluster.

Development node

# Build cockroach binary from https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach
# Start it in insecure mode (listens on localhost:15432)
./cockroach start --insecure

# Build filesystem example.
# Start it with:
mkdir /tmp/foo
./filesystem postgresql://root@localhost:15432/?sslmode=disable /tmp/foo
# <CTRL-C> to umount and quit
# Use /tmp/foo as a filesystem.

Insecure node or cluster

# Launch your node or cluster in insecure mode (with --insecure passed to cockroach).
# Find a reachable address: [mycockroach:15432].
# Run the example with:
mkdir /tmp/foo
./filesystem postgresql://root@mycockroach:15432/?sslmode=disable /tmp/foo
# <CTRL-C> to umount and quit
# Use /tmp/foo as a filesystem.

Secure node or cluster

# Launch your node or cluster in secure mode with certificates in [mycertsdir]
# Find a reachable address:[mycockroach:15432].
# Run the example with:
mkdir /tmp/foo
./filesystem postgresqls://root@mycockroach:15432/?certs=verify-ca&sslcert=mycertsdir/root.client.crt&sslkey=mycertsdir/root.client.key&sslrootcert=mycertsdir/ca.crt /tmp/foo
# <CTRL-C> to umount and quit
# Use /tmp/foo as a filesystem.
