Setting up GmailFS

First, get SuperUser priviledges:

sudo -s -H

Install the needed packages:

sudo aptitude install gmailfs

Create the directory for the filesystem:

mkdir /mnt/g

Adjust the priviledges:

Warning /!\ REMEMBER TO REPLACE "USERNAME" WITH YOUR USERNAME!

chmod 777 /mnt/g
chown USERNAME:USERNAME /mnt/g
}

Open /etc/fstab and insert this in the bottom:


/!\ REMEMBER TO REPLACE "USERNAME" AND "PASSWORD" WITH YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION! - fsname should be set as something hard to guess!

{{{
/usr/share/pycentral/gmailfs/site-packages/gmailfs.py /mnt/g gmailfs username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD,fsname=RANDOM

Run mount -a to se if everything is fine:

mount -a
