FUSE Port Brings NTFS Support To OS X

sciurus0 writes "In his session at Macworld on OS X filesytems, Google's Amit Singh announced that he has ported Linux's FUSE module to OS X. The port is called MacFUSE and it is available in source form and as a pre-compiled kernel extension with associated tools. Many FUSE filesystems such as sshfs and ntfs-3g are reported to work."

    (because there's no fork() in Windows)

    If there's no fork, then how do you eat your meat (and consequently get the pudding)?

    So, FUSE will now fuse with SUSE?-)

    But seriously, I wonder how this relates to the SUSE-Novell-Microsoft connections... That's a nice implementation of NTFS you got there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.

    The two worst-connected computers I currently use are my Mac Plus and my TRS-80. It seems like neither one will connect to Windows 3.0. I'm not even sure where I'm supposed to stick the ethernet thingy.

    Next time I'm buying the Commodore 128 or something else that can run GEOS!

    You don't need to stick a fork() in. It's easy to see that Windows is done.
