Testing writes has not been as successful.  fdisk and bsdlabel work 
fine, as does writing individual files.  But trying to restore onto a 
vdfuse/mdconfig partition just goes away.  The machine is idle, restore 
waits in wdrain, and further access to that device does not respond.  I 
think I saw fuse in a fuse_msg state, but can't verify that now.

That was all before applying the fusefs-kmod patch; now other processes 
also stop responding.

In any case, I'd rather have a port that is not 100% than no port at 
all.  Announcing possible problems in the pkg-message would be 
appropriate.
