June 11, 2007 FUSERMOUNT 8

### NAME

fusermount - manage librefuse mount items

### SYNOPSIS

fusermount [-chpVx] [-d name] refuseoptions fusermount -u mountpoint(s)

### DESCRIPTION

The fusermount utility acts as a frontend to the refuse(3) library, allowing mounting and unmounting of refuse-based file systems.

There are essentially two forms of the fusermount command. The first, and default option, is to mount a refuse-based file system. By using the -u argument, the file system can be unmounted.

The arguments to fusermount are as follows:

-c
  Set a flag to enable kernel caching of files. At present this option has no effect.

-d name
  Make the name argument appear as the file system name in mount(8) and df(1) output.

-h
  Print a usage message and exit.

-p
  Check the file permissions. At present this option has no effect.

-V
  Display the fusermount version on stdout, and then exit successfully.

-x
  Allow mortal (non-root) users to access the file system. At present, this option has no effect.

The fusermount utility is included mainly for compatibility reasons, since some file systems demand its existence.

### EXIT STATUS

fusermount returns 0 for successful operation, or non-zero if one of the operations did not complete successfully.

### EXAMPLES

The command
```fusermount``-d` `ntfs-3g` `unused` `mount.ntfs-3g` `ntfs.img``/mnt`
will mount the file ```ntfs.img` on the directory ```/mnt`. Please note the ```unused` argument in the command, which is necessary for compatibility with other implementations of the fusermount command.
