Hi, Thanks for the release. I have a general question regarding FUSE. Why do all the tests pass on a regular ext3 file system while there are quite a lot of errors (~80% success) when run on top of the fuse example file system as found in the fuse tarball? I thought the fuse filesystem just passes every access to the underlying file system. So what's causing the failures? Or am i doing something wrong?
