I think I saw a change roll through that might of been related to this list thread.

Mainly uses FileSystemProvider to expose native OS X file system API’s as nio.2 attributes. Some not really usable attempts at native OS X WatchServices. Not affected by this bug and maybe not a real FileSystem. But if you’re keeping a list.
