ZFS and fuseblk

Hi Miklos,

Can you clarify how the new fuseblk filesystem type differs in
functionality from the usual fuse filesystem type?

The patch description says that the only difference is that the
"dev_name" mount option is interpreted in fuseblk.

The description even mentions how this is useful for ZFS, however:

- ZFS pools (and by consequence, the ZFS filesystems inside them) are
typically composed of multiple block devices.

- I'm not even sure where the dev_name mount option or the fuseblk
filesystem type is supposed to go into (/etc/fstab?).

I'm not sure how can I use that functionality, since the ZFS filesystems
shouldn't even be added to /etc/fstab unless the administrator really
wants it (ZFS has an optional "legacy" mode for this).

So typically the filesystems are mounted by the zfs-fuse daemon itself,
which, of course, uses fuse_mount() to mount them.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks.
