I would really recommend against using MacFUSE if you're not using Lion. I've had MacFUSE hang my system on a daily basis until I figured out the problem.

- mlacitation 15y agoWhat was the problem? I use MacFuse on Snow Leopard daily at work and home and the worst I've ever seen was TextMate move slow when I woke from sleep (and the drive wasn't mounted)
- pagekalisedown 15y agoBuilding code, doing a "find .", any type of disk-heavy operation was like playing russian roulette.
- mlacitation 15y agoThis warning is much clearer (and useful). I completely agree -- disk-heavy moves can be painful. On that note, if you're using TextMate with MacFusion/SSHFS, you'll want to get the ReMate plugin. It disables refresh on regaining focus for TextMate: http://ciaranwal.sh/remate/ http://ciaranwal.sh/remate/. No more beachball when you bounce over to the browser for a second :)
- hemancuso 15y agoI recommend using ExpanDrive [I write it] - it works great on Lion and does some aggressive caching to make this a much more usable solution.
- sneak 15y agoAs a paid ExpanDrive user, I second this. It's good software.
- falicon 15y agoYeah - I had lots of troubles with MacFUSE in the past as well...so far (only a couple of days really) I've had no problems with OSXFuse though.
