chirp_fuse - create a FUSE mount point with virtual access to remote chirp servers

chirp_fuse [options] <mount path>

You can attach to a Chirp filesystems by using the FUSE package to attach Chirp as a kernel filesystem module. Unlike parrot_run(1), this requires superuser privileges to install the FUSE package, but will likely work more reliably on a larger number of programs and environments. Using FUSE allows for transparent access to a Chirp server via the local filesystem. This allows user applications to use a Chirp store unmodified.

Once you have installed and permissions to use FUSE, simply run chirp_fuse with the name of a directory on which the filesystem should be mounted.

For complete details with examples, see the Chirp User's Manual (http://ccl.cse.nd.edu/software/manuals/chirp.html).

 -a,--auth=<flag>

Enable authentication mode: unix, hostname, address, ticket, kerberos, or globus.
 -b,--block-size=<bytes>
Block size for network I/O. (default is 65536s)
 -d,--debug=<flag>
Enable debugging for this subsystem.
 -D,--no-optimize
Disable small file optimizations such as recursive delete.
 -f,--foreground
Run in foreground for debugging.
 -s,--single-server=<hostport>
Connect only to the named host:port and hide the global namespace.
 -i,--tickets=<files>
Comma-delimited list of tickets to use for authentication.
 -m,--mount-option=<option>
Pass mount option to FUSE. Can be specified multiple times.
 -o,--debug-file=<file>
Write debugging output to this file. By default, debugging is sent to stderr (":stderr"). You may specify logs to be sent to stdout (":stdout") instead.
 -t,--timeout=<timeout>
Timeout for network operations. (default is 60s)
 -v,--version
Show program version.
 -h,--help
Give help information.

CHIRP_CLIENT_TICKETS Comma delimited list of tickets to authenticate with (same as -i).

On success, returns zero. On failure, returns non-zero.

To create and use a FUSE mount point for access to remote chirp servers:

% chirp_fuse /tmp/chirp-fuse &
% cd /tmp/chirp-fuse
% ls
% cd host:port
% cat foo/bar
% exit
