The reason I needed to remove the bdi is name collision - fuse
generates a fixed name for its bdi based on the underlying block
device. However, those collisions of mine were conducted on a
version prior to the private bdi introduction, I am not sure if that
is supposed to fix the collision issue. Need to check

Thanks,
