Hi Richard,<br>
<br>
This sounds like a nice option. Is it possible a short recipe
could be written in a HOWTO on our wiki?<br>
<br>

One interesting option is available to those who might want to
start using the new high-statistics pythia sample we have created
on the OSG in the data challenge. You can simply mount the grid
filesystem on your local linux box using FUSE. Fuse is a feature
of the more recent linux kernels to allow you to do mount/umount
of remote filesystems of various kinds without root privs. Some
sysadmins may block this, but if it is your own desktop/laptop
there should not be a problem.

If you have fuse mount privs on your local box, you can simply
mount any grid directory using the tools developed for the LHC
grid, and then access the files as if they were on your local
disk. An underlying transport layer makes the data connections
over gridftp, so it is quite fast and efficient, depending of
course on your network speed. I just tested this on a Centos 5
box, and it works. I could ls the filesystem and then browse
inside the rest data files using hddm-xml.
