Hi.. Is there a way to get davfs2 on the server..
This way i can connect to transip stack to make continuous backups..

Hi

davfs2 is a driver to allow to mount a remote webdav.

So do you mean you have a webdav server on your LAN or remotely and you want to mount this ressource on your 5big2 ?
What will be a nice feature

[daniel304]

Yes. well sort off.
I want to mount a webdav server onto the 5big2 however the server is not in my network.
The webdav server is from transip.nl where i have 1Tb large diskspace to sync files to.

It is called transip stack.

attached davfs2 version 1.5.5 compiled with prefix /usr

Tar archive must be unpacked in system root

---edit---
Package will be soon available as an addon package

Hi

Indeed you need to edit davfs2.conf file for setting the options dav_user and dav_group as davfs2 linux user does not exist (you need to use 'nobody' instead) and also set your credentials in secrets file

You should also edit the option "cache_dir /var/cache/davfs2". With this default path, the cache is created on the firmware partition which is not a large partition and the firmware will never reset it.

So after enabling this option, set this path: cache_dir /var/log/davfs2
which will be reset at each nas rebooting

After that change all should be ok.

Note: after uncompressing the tar file you need to reboot the nas as permissions/owner are corrupted on some folders

How can I get this addon or could you reattach the archive with davfs2 ?
