FUSE -- filesystem in user space.
Can I propose FUSE be included with the standard SUSE distribution? The FUSE system has gained a lot of momentum. It is a generic filesystem driver that exports all its calls to the user space. This allows easy creation of innovative file systems, like database-backed filesystems, encrypted filesystems, and (mine) the OWFS 1-wire filesystem. See http://fuse.sourceforge.net FUSE has been included with the mm series of kernels. Unfortunately, having an external kernel module means my users have to reinstall FUSE after every kernel update, which seems to be rather common. Including fuse with the standard distribution would add no significant complexity or tradeoffs, and make SuSE a stronger distribution.

You probably should contact suse directly, perhaps using their feedback web page. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

That's an exercise is futility. I wandered around their website for a while looking for any feedback page. Very slow website. Very unhelpful. I'm just an "enthusiast" I guess. I searched on "feedback". Their "best bet results" was "NOVELL: Bangalore Products Group Feedback" Paul

Feedback now works (at least you can submit). Pending an answer. Paul
