I used it more often quite some time ago; tested it now: it works if I run it as root (kern.usermount removed) and if I do some wild dances with doas(1) to access the files. my testing was: copy a file to the share, copy one from the share; delete on share; copy 800MB from share. I copied over wifi, the speed seemed to be capped by the connection quality, not the software. I've tried gvfs-smb as a substitute; it works if I use GIO programs like pcmanfm or gimp. But no real mounting, right? Marcus
