Hi Alexander,

I too am interested in ext4 modules for fuse and will look into your link
more.

It would be a big step forward to have fuse modules for a number of
different filesystems as it bring in the ability for people to work with
their existing partitions more on Openindiana.
Cheers and have a great weekend,
Lonnie
