[Nmh-workers] nmh over sshfs?

2008-10-18 10:07:44

I'm hoping to run (exmh over) nmh over sshfs, but it doesn't work
because 1) sshfs doesn't implement link()...

 bash$ df .
 Filesystem         GB-blocks    Used  Available Use% Mounted on
 sshfs#rader(_at_)remot       0.00    0.00       0.00
                      1000.00    0.00    1000.00   0% /home/rader/Mail

 bash$ touch fu; perl -e "link('fu','bar')" ; ls -l bar
 ls: bar: No such file or directory

...and 2) nmh scan (for example) "requires" that the underlying
filesystem implement link()...

 bash$ strace scan
 link("/home/rader/Mail/,LCK.OCkeZa", "/home/rader/Mail/context.lock") = -1 
ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
 unlink("/home/rader/Mail/,LCK.OCkeZa")  = 0
 stat64("/home/rader/Mail/context.lock", 0xbfe159b0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file 
or directory)
 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [CHLD], [], 8) = 0
 rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, NULL, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
 nanosleep({5, 0},  <unfinished ...>

Is there some workaround in nhm??

It's too bad "./configure --with-locking=dot" only applies to inc and msgchk.
