It could be a huge boon for our archive server... but trusting critical
data to a FUSE mount?  Makes me squeemish.

On the other hand LessFS2 [apparently - I haven't tried] allows you to
store multiple instances of each block and checksums blocks on read -
which is really cool [most SATA drive firmware is total crap, SATA
drives can't be trusted even in RAID setups].
