nice, to you only use those to test fuse/ntfs-3g or
also the other filesystems?

yeah, lmh did some nice job for the month of kernel bugs

I added ntfs-3g testing to my testbox, and use the mercurial tree
from http://mercurial.creo.hu/repos/ntfs-3g-hg to always test
the latest version. The only problem I have is that when
i mount images with -t ntfs the fuse driver also gets
used, not the kernel one. is there an option to only use
ntfs-3g when using -t ntfs-3g?

Greetings, Eric
