Hello,
I would like to ask if there is a good reason Ubuntu builds fuse as
statically into the kernel instead of using a module?
Reason I'm asking is that we are currently working on a couple of fuse
improvements and
a) A static module makes development a bit harder, I cannot take any
quickly installed ubuntu system and just load an updated module, but
always need to install a non custom kernel package.
b) Makes it impossible to provide the updated module as preview to our
customers, without extra work like renaming all exported symbols and
adding another /dev/something char device to replace /dev/fuse
c) Makes it hard for us to support customer issues if a fuse issue
should come up (rare case).
Thanks,
Bernd
