[SOLVED] How to make two directories appear as one?

[Daan]

Hi.

I am looking for a simple way to make two directories appear as one. Googling, I found that there are several programs that can do this, but non worked for me. I got the result I want nearly with mhddfs, however, I can only access the the unified directory as root, and not as a normal user.

daan@schmauck:~$ ls dir1
file1  file2
daan@schmauck:~$ ls dir2
file2  file3
daan@schmauck:~$ mhddfs dir1,dir2 dir0
mhddfs: directory '/home/daan/dir1' added to list
mhddfs: directory '/home/daan/dir2' added to list
mhddfs: mount to: /home/daan/dir0
mhddfs: move size limit 4294967296 bytes
fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied
daan@schmauck:~$ sudo mhddfs dir1,dir2 dir0
mhddfs: directory '/home/daan/dir1' added to list
mhddfs: directory '/home/daan/dir2' added to list
mhddfs: mount to: /home/daan/dir0
mhddfs: move size limit 4294967296 bytes
daan@schmauck:~$ ls dir0
ls: cannot access dir0: Permission denied
daan@schmauck:~$ sudo ls dir0
file1  file2  file3
daan@schmauck:~$ ls -l -d dir0
ls: cannot access dir0: Permission denied
daan@schmauck:~$ sudo ls -l -d dir0
drwxr-xr-x 2 daan daan 4096 2008-12-07 16:21 dir0

How can acces the directory as a normal user?

Are there any other tools than mhddfs that are easier to use?

Thanks!

I solved it!

I added myself to the group "fuse". After a reboot:

daan@schmauck:~$ ls dir*
dir0:

dir1:
file1  file2

dir2:
file2  file3
daan@schmauck:~$ mhddfs dir1,dir2 dir0
mhddfs: directory '/home/daan/dir1' added to list
mhddfs: directory '/home/daan/dir2' added to list
mhddfs: mount to: /home/daan/dir0
mhddfs: move size limit 4294967296 bytes
daan@schmauck:~$ ls dir0
file1  file2  file3
