The version posted at http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/issues/detail?id=346 is not thread-safe, as far as I know. That means that you will most likely get kernel panics or loose data at some point. This has been explained by Amit at http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse/msg/91066237d9339963 (see last paragraph "Custom-compiled MacFUSE under a 64-bit kernel?") The version I released uses Tuxera's locking mechanism and should therefore be thread-safe. Featurewise I guess there is no difference. > How about putting the code on sourceforge or github and continue > maintaing the project over there. > (I guess there is no access to googlecode's svn to check in changes) > It seems that MacFUSE is dying slowly and it would be a greate shame > if it happened. I agree, it really would be a shame. I think its noteworthy that MacFUSE is based on an old version (2.7.3) of the fuse library which was released in february 2008. But porting a newer version of the fuse library to the mac would be a ton of work. Amit changed/added about 40,000 lines of code to achieve this. Just putting the code somewhere else will not do the job. We would need some really dedicated developers with lots of free time to bring MacFUSE up to speed. > Regards > Dan Regards Benjamin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
