Getting Started Guide

Quick Start

1. Install FUSE

apt-get install fuse

1. Install CFS

wget https://github.com/getcfs/megacfs/releases/download/<latest_release>/cfs
echo -e '#!/bin/sh\ncfs mount -o $4 $1 $2 > /dev/null &' > mount.cfs  # create the mount helper script
chmod +x cfs mount.cfs   # mark them executable
mv cfs mount.cfs /sbin/  # place them on the path

1. Configure the CFS Client

cfs configure  # requires a valid Rackspace Cloud region, username and apikey

1. Create a Filesystem

cfs create myfs  # returns the fsid

1. Grant Access to the Filesystem

ifconfig               # to get the service net ip
cfs grant <ip> <fsid>  # allows the filesystem to mounted from this ip

1. Mount the Filesystem

mkdir -p /mnt/myfs                                                # create the mountpoint
echo "iad:<fsid> /mnt/myfs cfs rw,allow_other 0 0" >> /etc/fstab  # add filesystem to /etc/fstab
mount /mnt/myfs                                                   # mount the filesystem
