I never really used it, I think I just tested it once. On their site they say: "The driver is in STABLE status since February 2007, after twelve years of development" so I thought it was ok. I had some terrible crashes with sshfs on FreeBSD. I think the FreeBSD fuse kernel module is a bit flaky. I never tried it on Linux. Best regards, Jona
