The owfs program is the front-end for fuse.
Any of the programs
owfs
owtftp
owhttpd
owserver
...
and most of the language bindings (all not ownet) are mere frontends for
the underlying owlib. They all link to owlib, which is the actual driver
and controls the bus.
You may start any of these programs separately, and each of it may use
owlib to connect directly to a host adaptor or
*and this is important*
to an owserver on the same or another computer which connects to a host
adaptor on that computer. Think of owserver as a "Onewire over IP Tunnel".
But there is another use for owserver
*and this is important.*
You may *not* connect more than one owlib using process to the same host
adaptor, concurrent access doesn't work reliably on that level. With
USB, you may get the impression it works, but it doesn't. Don't try it,
it's an endless source of frustration. Instead, use owserver to connect
to the host adaptor and connect the other programs to owserver instead.
So check if you have any process running which connects directly to the
host adaptor and end that process before trying to debug anything.
