[Avf-fuse-dev] [Fwd: [Owfs-developers] owfs for embedded systems]

[Paul A. <pal...@ea...>]

One of our developers has been porting fuse (and OWFS) to embedded
systems. As you can see from his note, the hard-coded 4096 byte block
size is a problem. Some potential fixes:
1. Detect it from the linux kernel source code.
2. configure switch
3. module parameter
