    Question 1: Why is the Fuse FS, at least on my system such a dog?

    I've tried to load and edit code files in Eclipse or TextWrangler on the default XP Pro SP3 disk mounts for my MacBook Pro system:

    vfstool@fuse0 on /private/tmp/4955/C (fusefs, local, nodev, noexec, nosuid, synchronous, mounted by rwbaskette)
    vfstool@fuse1 on /private/tmp/4955/D (fusefs, local, nodev, noexec, nosuid, synchronous, mounted by rwbaskette)
    vfstool@fuse2 on /private/tmp/4955/S (fusefs, local, nodev, noexec, nosuid, synchronous, mounted by rwbaskette)

    It's extremely slow to work on projects over fusefs. I've ended up mounting the admin samba shares separately because the performance is so much better.

    Question 2: Why are all of the VM drives mount in '/private/tmp/<some_random_number>/<drive_letter>'?

    Since the random number changes all the time, it's really difficult to set up anything even semi-permanent symbolic links to folders on my XP VM drives. Any chance I can force it to mount in the same place every time? I don't care where, as long as i can use 'ln -s' consistantly!

    You guys have a great product and I am looking forward to your response.

    Thank You,
    Robert

    1.We are using FuseFs to mount VM drives to Mac
    this feature we are planning to add in Parallels Desktop version 4
    2. To avoid Time Machine backup
