Feature changed by: Petr Uzel (puzel) Feature #310710, revision 5 Title: Integrate the functionality of "fusermount -u" into umount openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Reinhard Max (rmax) Developer: (Novell) Developer: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org 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. Discussion: #1: Reinhard Max (rmax) (2011-03-08 11:18:35) Adding the maintainers of the affected packages (fuse and util-linux). #2: Per Jessen (pjessen) (2011-03-08 12:28:12) 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. #3: Per Jessen (pjessen) (2011-03-08 12:30:07) (reply to #2) Sorry, I missed the part about this being for a non-root userid. + #4: Petr Uzel (puzel) (2011-03-28 16:06:40) + Patch to upstream mailing list: + http://marc.info/?l=util-linux-ng&m=130132109917771&w=2 -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310710
