INSTALL
===============================================================================
CastorFS works only on Linux
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Prerequires*
   
   * fuse library (it's standart package and for Ubuntu it's recomened to 
     install fuse-utils package)
   * castor-lib (for debian systems you can download it from castorfs github
     repository at Downloads area).
   * castor-devel (for development).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*CASTOR user*

You need to have a local user account  the same user id (UID), group id (GID) 
and login name as on CASTOR. CASTOR group also should be exist.

For example, we have group z5 with GID=1470. At Ubuntu you can create it using 
the following command:
   $> sudo groupadd -g 1470 z5

User lbtbsupp has UID=10446 and GID=1470 (user should  also  belong to fuse 
group):
   $> sudo useradd -u 10446 -g z5 -G fuse -s /bin/bash lbtbsupp
===============================================================================
HOW TO RUN PROGRAM
===============================================================================

   * For example, we use lbtbsupp as your CASTOR account (but you need to use 
     you own account).
   * ..and mount castorfs to folder ~/castorfs
   * We use the following CASTOR parameters:
      - STAGE_HOST=castorlhcb
      - STAGE_SVCCLASS=default
      - RFIO_USE_CASTOR_V2=YES 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's two variants:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) If you login to system as lbtbsupp user:
   $> castorfs -o castor_stage_host=castorlhcb \
         -o castor_stage_svcclass=default ~/castorfs

In this case ~/castorfs is only accesible from local lbtbsupp account.

Unmount command:
  $> fusermount -u ~/castorfs

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) Recomended. If you want to access castorfs using another local account you 
    need:
   - Uncomment the following line at /etc/fuse file:
      ...
      user_allow_other
      ...
   - Give a full access for the castorfs directory:
     $> chmod 777 ~/castorfs

And then mount  CastorFS
   $> sudo castorfs -o castor_stage_host=castorlhcb -o castor_stage_svcclass=default \
      -o castor_uid=10446 -o castor_gid=1470 -o castor_user=lbtbsupp \
      -o allow_other ~/castorfs

Unmount command:
  $> sudo fusermount -u ~/castorfs
