Hi Stella,

You can execute gfsd and gfmd as a root user to share the same Gfarm
file system among several users.  When accesing the Gfarm file system,
an ordinal user is assumed.  Note that we do not support a root
privilege in Gfarm file system for now.

Regarding the access problem, what is displayed by 'gfhost'
without -l option.  It shows current available file system nodes.
If nothing is displayed, there is no file system node available
for the user.  'gfhost -lv' or 'gfrcmd -v <hostname> id' probably
shows a some error message.

Thanks,
Osamu
