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.

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.
