Note that this includes our modified libssh shared library, and PlanetLab's reroutemount vsys wrapper shared library. It does not include the FUSE libraries that are required for installation (see below). text/html 2009-07-07T19:05:30-04:00 Jeremy Stribling http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/wheelfs/doku.php?id=command_line&rev=1247007930&do=diff Start the configuration servers Start the wfs_rsm_cserver binary on all the desired configuration servers. Hopefully we'll write some documentation soon, but for now see wfs_rsm_cserver --help for the available options. You may want to start it as a background process using nohup for a long-running system or experiment.
