Voila.
Hum, mounting FUSE file system at /usr/bin seems a bit weak to me. I love using FUSE as an additional file system, but using it as a core file system seems a bit exagerated for me. Few things that I see: -- FUSE goes throught userland <-> kernel <-> Userland so it: ** May be an overhead for all /usr/bin calls. ** May be a potential security leak, like using LD_PRELOAD for a given user and use a custom fuse library for this user, with *any* /usr/bin filesystem you like -- FUSE module is not loaded by default, and some server maintainer would like te reFUSE using it... :-) -- Furthermore, what to do during bootstrap of the root file system? Because this should also be needed for /bin, so again overhead, security and loading at en early stage is not a solution for me...
