We're focusing to fuse/ntfs-3g development, other file systems are tested 
only in benchmarks and feature-compatibility evaluations. The latter two 
have only jffs2 but I can give a try to some file systems on a 64-bit box.

That's great, thanks! The development repository must have always already
tested code.

Ntfs-3 doesn't override the 'ntfs' file system type but some distos do.
If you have a /sbin/mount.ntfs symlink to the ntfs-3g executable then
just remove it and '-t ntfs' should work fine.

Thaks again,
