I was trying to get this working a while ago, and gave up. I managed to get far enough where I was able to get it to work only using root (sudo, or straight up root). Little did I know I was close to getting it working under "user" but gave up to soon. Eh, it happens...
At any rate, here's how to do it. This assumes that you already have an S3 account configured and downloaded Jungledisk.
1. After you've downloaded jungledisk, extract and untar it.
tar -xvzf jungledisk*
2. check the permissions on the contents. Pay attention to jungledisk and junglediskmonitor, and ensure that they look like below.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user 4394430 2009-04-28 11:17 jungledisk
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user user 9164367 2009-04-28 11:17 junglediskmonitor
3. Check /dev/fuse and make sure that the permissons on it are as follows:
crw-rw---- 1 root fuse 10, 229 2008-03-04 08:44 /dev/fuse
4. Next, add "user" to group "fuse" by issuing the following command:
sudo usermod -a -G fuse user
5. Ensure that you have the correct group memebership by issuing the following command, and making sure you see "fuse" in the list:
[user@localhost jungledisk]$ id user
uid=500(user) gid=500(user) groups=500(user),10(wheel),496(fuse)
6. Reboot, otherwise the changes to group membership will not take effect.
7. Go ahead and run junglediskmonitor, once you get back up and running and enter in the requested information.
This is a great addition to my Acer Aspire One using an 8GB SSD!
