Hmm, I am unfortunately not that lucky atm, because just to find the time to
make some other test I have had to wait till today. However I made some
performance test, and found that on my destkop system there is no
performance loss with mountlo w.r.t. the kernel loopback, i.e. both are 2x
slower than directly reading the same file in the same partition where the
iso that I mounted is located.

In other words: I see no reason to use the kernel loopback anymore :)

I think that you need fuse 2.2.1 to be sure that mountlo works - since I
tried to mount the same iso (containing only a 350 mb file) on two machines
and 2.2 hung.

Bye
