-The current test framework seems to work well, but the underlying mount/
-unmount infrastructure is a crock.  I am not pleased with that code.
-
-While most things work, I do still have a TODO list:
-* "du -sb" reports a couple orders of magnitude too large a size.
-* need to sort out cleaner mount semantics for the test framework
-* figure out how to un-linuxcentrify the statfs tests
-* test everything on other architectures and OS's
+Currently tests have been attempted and succeeded on:
+  * Ubuntu 10.10/amd64
+  * Ubuntu 11.04/amd64
+  * Debian 5.0/powerpc
+  * CentOS 5.6/amd64
+  * NetBSD 5.1/i386
+  * NetBSD 5.1/amd64
+  * FreeBSD 8.2/i386
+  * FreeBSD 8.2/amd64
+  * MacOS X 10.6.7
+
+Note that on NetBSD, there are several bugs in libpuffs and librefuse
+which prevent some tests from succeeding. There are fixes in NetBSD's
+MAIN branch, specifically revisions 1.26 and 1.27 on src/lib/libpuffs/subr.c,
+which correct the issues that cause the test failures. However, there is
+still a bug in librefuse that causes readdir() to only be called once.
+We will be addressing this with the appropriate developers in the near
+future.
+
+Also note that on NetBSD and FreeBSD, extended attributes do not work. These
+are specifics related to the FUSE implementations on those platforms.
