    159159Yes. Tahoe-LAFS comes with an [source:docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.rst SFTP server]. If you point [http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html sshfs] at the SFTP server then you have access to Tahoe-LAFS through FUSE. Alternately, [wiki:pyFilesystem pyfilesystem] interfaces directly with Tahoe-LAFS through the latter's [source:docs/frontends/webapi.rst WAPI] and provides both FUSE and Microsoft Windows filesystem access. See #1353 for discussion of possible improvements to FUSE integration. See [http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2011-November/003162.html Zooko's post to freedombox-discuss] and [https://plus.google.com/108313527900507320366/posts/ZrgdgLhV3NG Zooko's post to Google+] for Zooko's ramblings about the advisability of using FUSE for distributed filesystems in general and Tahoe-LAFS in particular.

     161'''[=#Q24_smallgrid Q23:] How I should setup k,h,N on my small private grid?''
     162A:
     163So you decided pubgrid is not for you and volgrid2 is not for you for one reason or another(note that they don't filled yet as of 6 Feb 2012) and want to knew which settings are for k,h,N.
     164Also,assuming at least some of your nodes are on same LAN and others are widely distributed(VPSeses over internet,'recycled servers' from for example atlas networks, etc).
     165And total number of nodes is not too big. And all your nodes under your control(at least - they are VPSes/Servers which are in your/friends you trust to pay in time name).And - if some storage nodes are permanently down - you can reconfigure gateways you use manually and run repair.
     166
     167Please note, it's much better to have nodes with roughly same space(500Gb and 5Gb in same grid is not a good idea,if you for some odd reason must have them both - read http://bigpig.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/VolunteerGrid2Philosophies and think again,if you still think you must - don't count them in S in below calculations)
     168Let's say S=number_of_nodes), setup k=3,N=S,h=N-2,
     169use N=number_of_nodes_total, h=N-2
