It is now mostly not about fuse itself, but about non-buffered raw device access. I really think that something like improved geom_cache should solve this. I`ll add soon updated version of the patch with [optional] libublio support. This improves performance a lot. Read speed is comparable with Linux (about 20 Mb/sec on my old USB) and write is much faster aw well (but not so good as in Linux and with a lot read requests for align). Also i contacted upstream about unaligned writes and he told that it is in his todo list, but probably after 1.0.0 version, because it will require a lot of changes in the code. Also i found a libexfat bug in a fat time handling and creating patch to use freebsd code for this instead. So if you are using exfat any testing and comments are welcome.home | help
