Correct.

MacFUSE 2.1.5 (beta) noted in the 'Additional information' section of Wuala 
issue 2522. 

That 2.1.5 beta was probably official. (Wuala aside: I occasionally 
experimented with other builds, including a 2.1.7 other than Benjamin's. AFAIR 
my most recent installation of a 2.1.5 beta was through the preference pane 
(and I guess that installations through all currently known versions of the 
pane are always official).)

At http://bugs.wuala.com/view.php?id=2522#c6991 I have added a note re:
64-bit MacBook Pro, 32-bit kernel and extensions.

For test purposes I already have Mac OS X Server 10.6.4 in a VM hosted (on the 
same MacBook) by VirtualBox 3.2.10 r66523. Previously the VM was not 32-bit. 

This morning I switched the VM to 64-bit (screen shot at 
<http://www.wuala.com/grahamperrin/public/2010/10/18/a>) 
… whilst the OS starts and runs, its System Profiler still 
reports "No" to 64-bit kernel. So, I aim to:

1.  in the guest VM, perform a clean installation of the OS

    — resulting, I guess, in 'virtualised 64-bit kernel and extensions'
    — (assuming that the 32-bit kernel of my MacBook Pro host does not prevent 
that)

2.  install ProtectMac AntiVirus and Wuala

3.  test Benjamin's 2010-10-17 build of MacFUSE 2.1.7 for both: 

3.1 reliability of mounts (Wuala issue 2522)

3.2 resilience and accuracy, during and after continuous file activity.

Thanks for that :-)
