Hi, finally we are now releasing an alpha version of our fuse based xrootd file system xrdfusefs. For us it is a fun project and we have learned a lot about autotools, fuse, POSIX, and xrootd. Not all possible functions have been implemented (yet?) and the code probably requires some more clean-up and some design choices may need to be revisited in the future, but the basic stuff should work. What you can do with xrdfusefs: * mount an xrootd dataserver on a local mountpoint * list, read, write, delete, move, copy files to and from the server as if they were locally accessible. What we have not tested/implemented yet: * rmdir * connection to a redirector * I'm sure you'll find something that we forgot about :-) What to keep in mind: * xrootd by design is not a file system! * 'ls' returns only the files currently online on the server Requirements: * fuse kernel module, libs, and headers. We have developed xrdfusefs with the 2.7 version of fuse, but fuse >= 2.5 should work. Source Code: http://iktp.tu-dresden.de/~petzold/projrcts/xrdfusefs/xrdfusefs-0.1alpha.tar.gz Give it a try. We appreciate your comments and suggestions. Cheers, Jan Erik, Andreas
