I got the impression that fuse4bsd is abandoned with Alex Beckert's mail (he said last commit 17 months ago, last release in 2007). It's a pity that it was never merged in FreeBSD src tree, I think then it would be better maintained. PUFFS looks promising because it was merged in NetBSD, but I didn't know about the limitations you describe. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
