	$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test/fs.ext2 bs=1024 count=102400
	$ mkfs.ext4 test/fs.ext2
	$ fuse-ext2 test/fs.ext2 /mnt/fs.ext2 -o debug,rw+

Usage

Options:  ro, force, allow_others
          Please see details in the manual.

Bugs
----

multithread support is broken for now, so forcing fuse to work single thread.

there are no known bugs for read-only mode, read only mode should be ok for every one.

altough, write support is available please do not mount your filesystems with write
support unless you do not have anything to loose.

please send output the output of below command while reporting bugs.

$ /usr/local/bin/fuse-ext2 -v /dev/path /mnt/point -o debug

Labels
------

please do not use comma ',' in partition labels.

wrong: e2label /dev/disk0s3 "linux,ext3"

correct: e2label /dev/disk0s3 "linux-ext3"
