Actually, I retract this comment. If one actually mounts the WebDAV filesytem as an unprivileged user, wdfs seems quite stable. My problems seem to arise when I performed the mount as root, which when the wdfs process dies, would crash the machine. NB: in order to use wdfs as an unprivileged user, one must not only set the sysctl vfs.usermount to 1, one also has to change devfs to make the newly created /dev/fuse[0-9]+ devices be world read/writable unix# defvs add path fuse\* mode 666 Maybe this should be added to the port pkg-message (if my understanding is correct)? -- "[T]his is not a disentanglement from, but a progressive knotting into."
