Comment(by petri@…):

 Replying to [comment:14 markus.doits@…]:
 > So you (or Tuxera) suggest(s) adding ''streams_interface=openxattr'' to
 the mount options? If so, let's do it. Since I haven't dealt with ntfs
 streams yet, I cannot say anything about them.

 I'm not suggesting it, rather I interpreted Tuxera's docs to be suggestive
 of that. However, I don't think it would do any harm, which is why I'd
 consider it.

 > So to summarize: remove ''local'', add ''streams_interface=openxattr''
 are the changes to be made to the existing patch. Then we get a mount
 where streams should work(?) and the volume shows up as a network device
 on the desktop (if enabled as a preference in finder).

 Yes, but still, this is going outside of DESTROOT and I'm unsure how to
 nicely handle that (actually, I think MacPorts shouldn't in general meddle
 with OSX-installed files, but to implement this variant we'd have to).
 I'll have to look that up, and perhaps do some asking around.
