Secure Log For Wide-Area Distributed Storage

• We found a pre-compiled package for Mac called MacFUSE that installs and configures FUSE on a Mac since FUSE seems to be dependent on a Linux kernel
  
• MacFUSE Wiki (files, information and help provided by the developers)
  
• Download MacFUSE
• Install MacFUSE
  
• Run HelloWorld test on FUSE to make sure the installation worked (the source for the HelloWorld test can be found in the wiki which is just a link to: HelloWorld.c)
  
• Detailed HELLOWORLDFS instructions to test out the file system (instructions were pulled from the link in the header of the HelloWorld.c page)
• Summary of the instructions to test MacFUSE using HelloWorld :
  
• Save HelloWorld.c
• Use these commands to do the test:
  
• Compile HelloWorld.c
• gcc -Wall -o hello hello.c -lfuse
• Make a temporary directory:
• mkdir /tmp/hello
• Run HelloWorld file system using the command:
• ./hello /tmp/hello -oping_diskarb,volname=Hello
  
• Note:
• We're specifying a couple of options when we mount the volume. The ping_diskarb option causes the volume to appear in the Finder, and the volname option gives the name to use for the volume.
• After executing these commands, you should see the volume Hello in the Finder. If you look at the volume, it contains one file: hello.txt. You can double-click hello.txt to open it in TextEdit and see that it contains the text "Hello World!"
• To unmount the HelloWorld file system use the command:
• umount /tmp/hello
