GridFS FUSE

Allows you to mount a MongoDB GridFS instance as a local filesystem.

Requirements

  • MongoDB 1.6+
  • FUSE
  • Boost (header files + the following separately built libraries --with-libraries=filesystem,program_options,system,thread)

Building

$ make
  • Note that if you are using a debian or Ubuntu install, it might be better to use the debian make target (use "make debian") instead of the default target. You will need the following packages:

    g++, libfuse-dev, mongodb-dev, libboost-system-dev, libboost-filesystem-dev, libboost-thread-dev

Usage

$ ./mount_gridfs --db=db_name --prefix=fs --host=localhost --port=port --username=db_username --password=db_password mount_point

Current Limitations

  • Must specify all command-line arguments
  • Database username and password sent in cleartext
  • No directories
  • No permissions
  • File creation/writing very experimental
