I don't have hard numbers, but anecdotally my FUSE version is quite a bit less performant. That's no criticism of FUSE - I just haven't put the time into optimizing and adding various caches. > There's one thing which makes fuse a slightly better candidate for > applications where the number of users is low: stability.

Most users would just mount it, copy a bunch of files, then unmount it, and if that works then great. It has at least seen some testing with fsx, though I had to turn off most of the checks since growing truncate is still unimplemented. -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com
