SYNOPSIS

fusermount [options] mountpoint

DESCRIPTION

fusermount is a utility for mounting and unmounting FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) filesystems. It's primarily used for unmounting, as mounting is typically done by the filesystem program itself.
The tool enables non-root users to mount and unmount filesystems, subject to proper permissions and configuration.

PARAMETERS

-u

Unmount filesystem.
-z
Lazy unmount (like umount -l).
-q
Quiet mode.
-o options
Mount options.
-V
Display version.
-h
Display help.

CAVEATS

Lazy unmount may leave filesystem in use. Regular users need proper permissions. Some options require root. Mount must be from fusermount or userallowother.

HISTORY

fusermount is part of the FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) project, originally created by Miklos Szeredi around 2001. FUSE enables userspace programs to export filesystems to the kernel, revolutionizing filesystem development on Linux.
