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,
