Thanks, Greg, but it's over it's over my head :-( . What's a fuse based filesystem?
A FUSE based filesystem is a Filesystem in Userspace.. Contrary to most filesystems that are linux kernel modules (refered as "kernel space"), ntfs-3g runs in userspace. just like any other application such as "ls" or "kdm". In a __very__ simplified dummy way it goes something like this: in-Kernel FUSE module (generic interface) --> NTFS-3G (userspace)--> YOU. (obviously they real chain is more complicated ;) ) This has a cost and is probably the reason why you will see reduced performance. although if they loss is too dramatic it might be a just a bug. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
