Whats this about fuse.conf and user_allow_other?

Beginning with version 0.10.0, the OpenISR client uses FUSE to provide access to a parcel’s virtual disk. For security, access to a FUSE filesystem is usually allowed only to the user who originally mounted the filesystem; for ISR, this is the user who runs “isr resume”. However, VMware runs its VMM process as root, so in order to resume a VMware parcel, you must configure FUSE to allow root to access virtual filesystems created by others. To do this, edit /etc/fuse.conf, creating it if necessary, and add the following line: user_allow_other Note that this option does not give the root user access to all FUSE filesystems on the machine. It simply allows individual filesystem implementations to request that other users be allowed access. ISR specifically takes advantage of this option to give VMware the access it needs, but most filesystems will not encounter any change in behavior with this option enabled.
