    <p>
      The sysutils/fusefs-lkl port may now be installed from pkg or ports.
      
      LKL ("Linux Kernel as a Library") is a special "architecture" of the full Linux kernel which builds as a userspace library on various platforms, including FreeBSD.  One application of such a library is using Linux's filesystem drivers to implement a FUSE backend.
      
      fusefs-lkl's 'lklfuse' binary is such a FUSE filesystem.  It can mount ext4/3/2, XFS, and BTRFS read-write, using the native drivers from Linux.
