Description of problem:

the manpage of mount.fuse contains this:

"
       nonempty
              Allows mounts over a non-empty file or directory. By default these   mounts  are  rejected  to  prevent
              accidental covering up of data, which could for example prevent automatic backup.
"

but that option got removed a while ago, which results in:

$ sshfs -o "nosuid,nodev,noatime,reconnect,nonempty,default_permissions,password_stdin,ServerAliveInterval=15" user@server:/home/user /path/to/mnt

fuse: unknown option(s): `-o nonempty'


According to this announce for fuse3 

http://fuse.996288.n3.nabble.com/ANNOUNCE-libfuse-3-0-0-has-been-released-td14403.html

"* The `-o nonempty` mount point has been removed, mounting over
  non-empty directories is now always allowed. This brings the
  behavior of FUSE file systems in-line with the behavior of the
  regular `mount` command. "


which can only mean, as rpm package has 2.9.9, someone backported this from fuse3 already.

As it gets removed anyway, i suggest to simply change the man page content :D



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

fuse-2.9.9-7.fc30.x86_64

Comment 1 Peter Lemenkov 2020-03-04 14:36:06 UTC
AFAIK sshfs (rom Fedora) uses fuse3, so you should refer to man mount.fuse3. Unfortunately some fuse mount helpers still repy on fuse < 3.0.0 while some already switched to fuse3. As the result we have issues like that.

Technically this ticket should be closed as notabug since man mount.fuse does contains nonempty and it recognizes this option while man mount.fuse3 (which sshfs relies upon) doesn't.

Hmm.. it's a pure documentation problem, so simply fix the reference from mount.fuse to mount.fuse3 in man mount.sshfs and the br can be closed.
