poorman-fs

FUSE File System implementation to PoorMan's Catalog Creator

PoorMan is a DVD/CD/External Drive indexing software. It can index your cold-storages so you can search what you need in your cold storages without physically attaching them to your computer.

And PoorManFS is a FUSE implementation to PoorMan database.

You can mount the index as a "virtual" drive and use your favorite search tool or browse the files easily without really attaching to the disks.

poormanfs works on the user-level. So no root access is needed;
