Hi Daniele,

8 GB of RAM does not mean you need the 64 bit kernel. The whole 8 GB of RAM can 
be used when running the 32 bit kernel. The previous generation MacBook Pros 
(2010) could be ordered with 8 GB, too, but they defaulted to the 32 bit 
kernel. Even the 2008 MacBook Pro could address the whole 4 GB while running 
the 32 bit kernel.

This is the worst solution you could have picked! AFAIK the build at caurea.org 
just removed the safeguards that prevent the 32 bit kernel module from being 
loaded into the 64 bit kernel. They were there for good reasons. This will most 
likely lead to data corruption since the kernel module at caurea.org is not 
thread safe! But the 64 bit kernel requires filesystem implementations to be 
thread safe. Not so the 32 bit kernel.

As Sam told you already there is an unofficial version of MacFUSE 2.1.9 which 
supports 64 bit kernels, is thread safe and can be considered stable.
