Try installing 'lufis' from the AVFS/FUSE homepage.  It's a bridge
between a LUFS filesystem and the FUSE kernel module.  Follow the
instructions given in the README.  I use sshfs like this, and it works
fine for me on Debian sid, 2.6.4 kernel.

Next release of AVFS will use FUSE, and will work on 2.6 kernels.  I'm
working on it.

This is a FAQ.  It doesn't actually hang, it just works.  What you
start is the program that serves the filesystem requests.  Try it.

This is wrong, you cannot specify a partition.  It will always mirror
the root directory.

This one is the right form.
