[oi-dev] ntfs-3g and fuse

[Milan Jurik]

Hi,

I spoke with one of original OpenSolaris FUSE developers and he consider
the project as unmaintained on opensolaris.org. Which makes sense for
Oracle because Solaris 11 has some different implementation of FUSE
targeting their business needs.

It means (if nobody else) I will apply Jean-Pierre's patches to SFE svn
repo and then will start work on possible FUSE tree integration to
illumos.

Best regards,

Milan
