Hello,

I just got the following error, and I find it it not well described.

> WARNING: Deficient FUSE kernel module detected. Some driver features are

What is right? Cos http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#fuse26 is saying:
=====================================================================
Why do I get "WARNING: Deficient FUSE kernel module detected"?

The FUSE technology used by ntfs-3g consists of two major parts: a
library and a Linux kernel driver. The message means that you either
have the faulty FUSE 2.6.2 release, or the library (FUSE package) is
safe but the kernel driver is not. When you install or upgrade the
FUSE package then it installs only the library, not the kernel driver.
In other words, ntfs-3g and FUSE is safe but not your kernel.
=====================================================================

So obviously not both the kernel and the fuse package bring along the
kernel module. But the versions of the kernel module AND the fuse
package must "match" meaning that they should work together.

So I would suggest to write that error message in a little different
way. I found it very confusing.
