  Title: Integrate the functionality of "fusermount -u" into umount
   
  openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed
  Priority
      Requester: Important
   
  openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed

Description:
  It is confusing that FUSE mount points need a different command to
  unmount them than everything else. Historically FUSE had to bring its
  own command, because traditional umount refuses umounting of mounts
  that are not in /etc/fstab for non-privileged users. But now that FUSE
  has become mainstream, I think it is time to integrate it better and
  get rid of the need for "fusermount -u". So my proposal is to either
  add the implementation of the "fusermount -u" functionality to mount,
  or let it execute "fusermount -u" as a subprocess for FUSE mountpoints.
  As root can already use umount for FUSE mount points, it probably
  doesn't need more than skipping the /etc/fstab test when umount is
  called on a FUSE mountpoint that is owned by the calling user.

  Adding the maintainers of the affected packages (fuse and util-linux).

  Are you sure this doesn't already work? I've got a fairly large setup
  with automount and many fuse (cromfs) filesystems, and using umount
  works very well.

  Sorry, I missed the part about this being for a non-root userid.
