Hi Zhang,
Here is the patch for davfs2 to solve "server does not support WebDAV"
issue:

davfs2 and webdav is not a good mix actually, I had tried to mix them
together and the performance were really bad. With the load test of 10
requests/s, load average on my namenode were always > 15 and it took me
about 5 mins for `ls` the root directory of HDFS during the test.
Since you're using Hadoop 0.20.1, it's better to use fusedfs library
provided in Hadoop package. You have to do some tricks to compile
fusedfs with Hadoop, otherwise it would take you a lot of time for
compiling redundant things.
Best,

Dear Huy Phan and others,
Thanks a lot for your efforts in customizing the WebDav server
<http://github.com/huyphan/HDFS-over-Webdav> and make it work for
Hadoop-0.20.1.
After setting up the WebDav server, I could access it using Cadaver
client in Ubuntu without using any username password. Operations like
deleting files, etc, were working. The command is: *cadaver
http://server:9800*
However, when I was trying to mount the WebDav server using davfs2 in
Ubuntu, I always get the following error:
"mount.davfs: mounting failed; the server does not support WebDAV".
I was promoted to input username and password like below:
had...@hdfs2:/mnt$ sudo mount.davfs http://192.168.0.131:9800/test
hdfs-webdav/
Please enter the username to authenticate with server
http://192.168.0.131:9800/test or hit enter for none.
Username: hadoop
Please enter the password to authenticate user hadoop with server
http://192.168.0.131:9800/test or hit enter for none.
Password:
mount.davfs: mounting failed; the server does not support WebDAV
Even though I have tried all possible usernames and passwords either
from the WebDAV accounts.properties file or from the Ubuntu system of
the WebDAV server, I still got this error message.
Could you and anyone give me some hints on this problem? How could I
solve it? Very much appreciate your help!
Best regards,
Zhang Bingjun (Eddy)
