I presume the changes between 2.8.5-2.8.6 are<br>modest. They might be unnecessary in the above code<br>because "fuse_lowlevel" is not included, and much of the<br>original libfuse code is not used in this implementation.<br>(Read the intro on bitbucket for why that is.)<br><br>> We<br>> could just use your previous work
and start from there to test and review or<br>> from the native fuse 2.8.x sources and port your code.
