    FUSE group - what is it really for?

    First, I do have read/write access to my NTFS Windoze Vista partition. I did so with the installation of the ntfs-3g package and changing ntfs to ntfs-3g in the appropriate entry in my fstab.

    That said, though, I have noted any number of posts saying you should have FUSE added to your secondary user groups. I don't have it, and as said, I have full read/write access to my NTFS partition. So, then, what exactly does the FUSE group do?

    Nothing for you Snowhog, apparently!



    It was required in Feisty and Edgy, to write to the NTFS partition. It may be non-essential in Gutsy -- I haven't experimented with it (yet).
