Hi,

Todays log:
Worked on vdfuse. It works fine

Two problems yet to solve (as of today):

1) Requires root priviledge
   i)For making directory in /mnt directory
   ii)For mounting and unmounting disk
   iii) vdfuse operation

2) Read only
  i) I was able to access the disk only on "read" and not able to "write" .
Will have to read upon the priviledges today evening.


p.s : Next 2-3 days I wont be able to put much effort.

	Fuse mean Filesystem in Userspace. it does *not* require root priviledge.
However:
 	- The user using fuse need to be in the fuse group
	- you shall not try to mound in directory the user have no right to. (for
example /mnt) use ${PYTIROOT}/mnt instead for example.

	By default fuse mount the content of the disk only for the user that 
called the command. this might be your issue.

Thanks for the wrap-up.

1) you do not require root privilage to run vdfuse. You can configure 
fuse to be able to anyone in the fuse configuration. (the option is 
"user_allow_other" as specified in the documentation [0])

Also, once you'll have something working, you can have a quick look at 
the python bindings. I'm not sure that they integrate simply with vdfuse 
but have a look, it may be the case [1]

About read and write, I didn't checked that vdfuse is able to write so 
double check this.

See ya
