GMAILFS - The Google Filesystem
August 29th, 2004 by Mark Rittman
GMAILFS - GMail Filesystem: "GmailFS provides a mountable Linux
filesystem which uses your Gmail account as its storage medium. GmailFS is a
Python application and uses the FUSE userland filesystem infrastructure to help
provide the filesystem, and libgmail to communicate with Gmail. GmailFS supports
most file operations such as read, write, open, close, stat, symlink, link,
unlink, truncate and rename. This means that you can use all your favourite unix
command line tools to operate on files stored on Gmail (e.g. cp, ls, mv, rm, ln,
grep etc. etc.).". Nice one. Slashdot discussion
here.
