DMM - DataManagerMount

Mount your datamanager files into your filesystem.

Prerequisites

1. A kernel with FUSE support
2. A compiled binary.
3. A vaild config and session. You can create one using the cli client

Get started

You can mount your dataManager files into your local filesystem using <dmount> mountPoint. Thats it.

Opions

--config use a different configuration file, created by the CLI client or GUI client
--debug view more informations about the client server process
--debug-fs view logs for the mount process

Mapping

Since the way the datamanager stores your files is different than your Operating Systems fs does, the mapping between Dmanager and your OS filetree isn't that easy.
The DManager is built to store files assigned to multiple folders (groups) and your FS (usually) allows to store a file in one folder only. In addition, you (usually) can't have multiple files with the same name in one folder.
The DmanagerFS supports that. This is one of the main differences between Filesystems like ext4 or NTFS and the DataManagerFS.

The mapping:
