In fuse work I've done and seen, it is possible to extract decent
performance from fuse, but it isn't free. By default, FUSE only
performs I/O 4K at a time. With the direct_io mount option, you get the
benefit of only a single copy from userspace to userspace effectively
for I/O buffers and t

Sumit Narayan did some further work when he was at ANL during the 2008
summer and wrote a report about his testing at http://www.engr.uconn.edu/~
So who knows the status of the FUSE interface? Is there any reason to
believe or not believe it is production worthy?

In the current head how do you use the FUSE stuff? Just --enable-fuse,
or do you have to do anything else (like tell it which kernel or anything)?
How about startup, what do you do to configure it and get it going?
If you don't specify to build the old kernel mod, does it use FUSE

Awesome!
