How to mount a zip file as a file system?

Question

I am getting this error when I try to do the following:

• accessing a library settings
• accessing a workflow settings
• accessing a list settings
• accessing a task settings

p.s.

• I'm using SharePoint 2010 on Windows Server 2008 64-bit
• I am using an Administrator account.
• I recently installed the Active Directory on the server

Solution 1

Install the package avfs then execute:

mountavfs

Say you have a zip file in ~/Documents/file.zip, then

cd ~/.avfs/home/$USER/Documents
ls -l file.zip#/

You could also browse the content in Nautilus, but you need to add a trailing # character by hand to the path (Ctrl-L to access the address bar).

Solution 2

In Nautilus, right click on the archive and then click "Open with Archive Mounter", once you've done this, your archive will show up as a new “drive” in Nautilus. (check tutorial here)

Very cool!! At the moment it supports floppies, tar and gzip files, zip, bzip2, ar and rar files, ftp sessions, http, webdav, rsh/rcp, ssh/scp. Quite a few other handlers are implemented with the Midnight Commander's external FS

Nice! I was searching for a tool that could mount a rar split into several files, like File.part1.rar, File.part2.rar, etc... or the alternate chunk.rar, chunk.r00 chunck.r01, etc... Apparently avfs is not capable of doing that. Any other solution?

Amazing! I had a virtual machine downloaded in zip that needed importing and this avoided me having to unzip dozens of gigs, all in less than 30 seconds. I love Linux :)
