This is the error I get when I try to start it up.
Code:
root@Infinity bin # shfsmount username@gac.edu:/username /mnt/home
username@gac.edu's password:
shfsmount: Invalid argument


I'm trying to get my drive on my school's network to mount onto my own computer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is the shfs kernel module loaded? To check do
Code:
lsmod -l | grep shfs
If you get a line saying shfs then it's loaded. If it isn't loaded add shfs to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 (or kernel-2.4 if you run a 2.4 series kernel) and reboot. You can avoid rebooting by doing
Code:
modprobe shfs
(the module will get autoloaded after the next reboot).
shfs worked for me out of the box (kernel 2.6.5-gentoo) - the only annoyance is that it sends a lot of debug messages to the system logger. But that doesn't affect its functionality.
