I don't know how fast it is, > but I think FreeBSD's FUSE has improved since that thread started. I didn't tried it because what I read about it on forums is nothing good. Slow, unstable, not suitable for mounting 30+ shares on boot from fstab. Somebody reported speed with fusefs-smbnetfs less than 1Mbps. Also I found somebody trying to use gvfs to access samba shares on headless servers but again it was something I don't want in production. It gvfs is also userspace for browsing not for permanent mounting on defined mount points. I didn't find any other alternative in ports. Kind regards Miroslav Lachman
