Damjan, thanks for the suggestion. I did like Alan suggested and:

clay_at_bsd13:~ % pkg info -r fusefs-libs
pkg: No package(s) matching fusefs-libs
clay_at_bsd13:~ % pkg info -r fusefs-libs3
pkg: No package(s) matching fusefs-libs3

I'm sitting here looking at a pkg search fuse in LXTerminal and I see:
fusefs-ntfs-2017.3.23          Mount NTFS partitions (read/write) and disk
images
fusefs-ext2-0.0.10_2           FUSE module to mount ext2, ext3 and ext4
with read write support

I triple boot with MS Windows 10, MX Linux, and FreeBSD 13.0, so I could
certainly make use of those tools.

I just now copied all the files I wanted to save from this installation to
a thumbdrive, and now downloading r350702. I will report back later.

Clay
