perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

["Roderick Mooi" <>]

Hi Andrew

I'm not really a developer or maintainer of perfSONAR - I just use it - like 
you want to... I've CC'ed this to the list so someone more experienced can 
help you.

I haven't used the USB live deployment. What stands out to me though is the 
repeated phrase:
"> Warning: SuperUser privileges required to use this script."

Are you running the script as sudo?

Regards,

Roderick
