Please keep in mind, that the current FUSE port to FreeBSD is lagging behind and I can reproducibly panic -CURRENT using fuse-ntfs, too. Nevertheless, I think FUSE is the way to go. Perhaps someone could port the NetBSD interface for it to FreeBSD, so we can ship a kernel with FUSE preinstalled (sans GPL). Cheers, Uli
