13 Not at all, FUSE is a userspace flesystem meant to be used after single

16 The spec says you have to be able to mount other filesystems not all

20 So no your point does not stand. As has already been said the
21 cure is worse than the disease many of which have been
22 demonstrated to amount to exactly nothing in all cases and likely why
23 Greg refused to specify what was broken. You've completely ignored the
24 part of FHS about the root filesystem and completely made up your own
25 rules to justify Linux having management problems that some
26 irresponsible devs chose to enforce upon all and now eudev is working to
27 fix and bring the core of linux back into compliance and higher
28 reliability.

30 I'm not surprised Michael can't be bothered to reply. I would use your
31 time more constructively than responding to this thread pollution in
