If you are not familiar with the fusefs implementation, fuse_mount is a the code that does allof the heavy lifting. ntfs-3g and mount.exfat-fuse. are daemons that remain resident as long as the volume remains mounted. so fusefs is all that is known to the system. While the mount_fusefs command can be used to mount the system, it would take several options that I am unsure how or if they can be entered into the fstab file. Thanks for looking at this. I am completely baffled at this point. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com
