#26115: Want support for arch=x86_64 in macfuse ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: hanche@… | Owner: dports@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: | Port: macfuse ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by dports@…): Sure would be nice. Unfortunately, MacFUSE doesn't support 64-bit kernels yet, and I don't think there's been any progress on that front upstream. It's not simply a matter of compiling it for the right architecture, there's significant work involved. (IIRC, the problem was that 64-bit kernels require thread-safe file systems, and MacFUSE isn't.) -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26115#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I also got the impression somewhere (forgot where) that it may use somewhat coarser locking than one might hope, but I don't know if that true or how much of a problem it is. Also worth reading is this older [http://groups.google.com/group/macfuse/browse_thread/thread/97951b355e57db56... post] that explains the problem with 64-bit kernels. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26115#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

The project has forked, so any future development will be under a different name. Fuse4X is one fork, and does include 64-bit support. It's now available in MacPorts (fuse4x), and most filesystems should be compatible. #30383 discusses some of the remaining compatibility issues. (If you run into others, please let me know!) OSXFUSE is another fork, which is not yet available in MacPorts but might be someday. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26115#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
