There should be a directory /var/log/ that contains log files. Log files may end with ".log" but they are not required to. If your system uses systemd (probably) you may use journalctl to find log entries. See "man journalctl" for details. Werner
Mega (mega.nz) is a very interesting cloud (50 gb free). But it's slow also with webdav protocol, and is slow also 4shared. So I think the problem not is davfs, but the clouds.
Thank you. Done. But I don't see any "mount.davfs" in *.log files (searched in /home/duns, and /var and /tmp). Where should I search?
"is slow also the command line (rsync)": rsync is a very powerful tool with a lot of options and one call to rsync may result in hundreds of file system calls. So this is no good choice for testing. What I have in mind are tools like echo, cat, cp and ls. To test what is slow and for what reason I want you to do this test:
These log message will probably show whether all commands ar done properly and how long they take. It might even show some file systems operations that you are not aware of, because they run in the background. Werner
Thank you
Please don't call a davfs2 file system a partition. It isn't. extreme slowness:
I can't see any problems with the fstab entry. Werner
It's possible create symlinks on davfs webdav partition with posixovl, but the partition so created it is practically useless, because of the extreme slowness that characterizes it (almost freezes). It's something wrong in the fstab file? Here is the line http://127.0.0.1:4443/[remote-id/schede/] /media/[user]/webdav-schede davfs _netdev,noauto,rw,user,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 Thank you
I'll do a bit more testing, thank you
"of davfs, which does not let posixovl create the small hidden files" Of course davfs2 lets you (or your posixovl) create files, that is what it is for. So why doesn't it work?
Werner
I mean that 1.symlinks are very useful 2. in local posixovl can create symlinks even in fat32, ntfs file systems 3. in remote (mounted via davfs) posixovl cannot create symlinks I wondered if the fault was posixovl or, as I believe, of davfs, which does not let posixovl create the small hidden files that are then seen as symlinks. That's all. It would be nice if davfs allowed posixovl to create symlinks (actually small hidden files then seen as symlinks). Unless you say the problem is in the cloud, whose filesystem does not allow symlinks. So why in local posixovl can create (apparent) symlinks on non-unix partitions? Thank you
davfs2 does not support symbolic links. But I don't know what youwant to achieve by applying posixovl on a davfs2 file system. What is the problem? What is "and no some files" and what kind of permission problems do you have? So my question: "What is wrong?" (Some messages by posixovl does not mean that there is something wrong with dabfs2.) Werner
Installed davfs2 on Kubuntu 18.04: mounted a webdav (Mega) in /media/user/webdav successfully; used <b>posixovl</b>: with local partitions all OK, with that webdav partition no symlinks (and no some files): permission problem ("check permissions" message). What is wrong?
