Linux davfs2
Linux davfs2 is a filesystem module for the Linux kernel, whose development is located at
http://dav.sourceforge.net/. Once installed, a WebDAV network share can be mounted with the usual
Linux mount command.
The word on the street is that this DAV client doesn't work at all with mod_dav_svn's autoversioning. Every single
attempt to write to the server is preceded by a LOCK request, which mod_dav_svn doesn't support. At this time, there
is no data indicating whether the use of mod_dav_lock resolves this problem.
