Hi Sylvestre, Nice to see that someone is working on this. I think the problem here is that the kernel will provide a service that only ports can use. If we want to use it in the basesystem, we will have to rewrite a BSD licenced libfuse. Other possibility is to make it a loadable kernel module, but I don't know the current state of our support.
