Hi Nikolaus,

I have offered support via phone and can only repeat that offer now ;-)

In order to install any port, you csan follow the steps outlined in an
earlier mail:

# mkdir /usr/ports
# cd /usr/ports
# svnlite co https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/head /usr/ports
# cd sysutils/fusefs-libs
# make install

The supported filesystems can then be installed in the same way, e.g.:

# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/fusefs-ext4fuse
# make install

To reinstall:

# make reinstall

You've got my phone number ...
