SynCE FS project enables users to remotely mount their pocketPC as a filesystem, simplifying file management processes.
The SynCE FS project is a filesystem software that enables users to mount a pocketPC as a remote filesystem. To use the software, you need to have SynCE installed on your Linux system. You can download the .deb or the sources from the download section.
To mount your pocketPC, it must be connected to your Linux box, and the connection should be established (your pocketPC has an IP address, and you should use synce-serial-start). You should create a directory to mount your filesystem; for example, you can use the command:
`# mkdir /mnt/synce`
To allow the non-root user (owner of dccm) to mount the pocketPC filesystem on `/mnt/synce`, add the following lines in `/etc/fstab`:
`none /mnt/synce cefs rw,user,noauto,codadev=/dev/cfs0 0 0`
After that, you need to ask the kernel to load CODA (if it is a module):
`# modprobe coda`
Then, as a non-root user and owner of dccm, you can mount the pocketPC filesystem using the command:
`lvivier@imac:~$ mount /mnt/synce/ SynCE FS using "/dev/cfs0" (CODA v3)`
Once you have mounted your pocketPC, you can use all files of the pocketPC as they were stored in a local filesystem. For example, you can use the command:
`lvivier@imac:~$ find /mnt/synce/`
To see all the files and directories.
You can also use the command:
`lvivier@imac:~$ df /mnt/synce`
To see the available space on your pocketPC.
The new release of SynCE FS includes some bug fixes and improvements, such as correcting the mode for read-only files, setting executable files from ROM as not readable, allowing to rename a file to a name already in use, correcting file cache management when a file is renamed, adding some traces, and adding some test cases.
Overall, SynCE FS is a useful software that enables you to easily mount your pocketPC like a remote filesystem. It's easy to set up and use, and it comes with some helpful features and improvements in the latest release.
