Re: what is fusectl?

It may have sth to do w/ fuse package. Check what uses the package - maybe you need it to mount a multimedia device, play a game etc.

Re: what is fusectl?

See wikipedia for a list of apps that may be using fuse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FUSE_(filesystem)#Examples.

I think fusectl is mounted to create a virtual filesystem under the linux kernel.  My understanding of fuse is cloudy but I think of a fuse filesystem as manipulating metadata about files, while the non-virtual filesystem stores the actual files.
