warning: unknown option - wrong library version?

Bug Description

When trying to mount a remote filesystem with fusermount, it won't recognise the options uid or guid.

fuse: warning: unknown option `uid=john'
fuse: warning: unknown option `gid=john'

According to the fuse FAQ, this is because on old version of fusermount is being used (I assume this means incompatible with the kernel module).

http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Why_does_fusermount_fail_with_an_Unknown_option_errorx3f.

Latest version available seems to be 2.5.2. Dapper version is 2.4.2

Can you please give me a few more details what you tried to do? I tried the fusexmp (example file system) shipped with fuse, fuseiso, and sshfs. All worked fine.

I've just tried this again and it succeeded. I was using sshfs.

To be honest, I'm not sure now if this was anything more than me misunderstanding the syntax. I don't remember the original syntax I was using so I can't be sure.

For a start, uid= and gid= seem only to accept numerical ids. So it's likely I was just being dumb. (Though the error messages are exactly the same as in the FAQ).

Sorry about this.

Thanks for checking again. *phew* :)

Hi,

I can confirm that sshfs/fusermount does not accept user/group names. It only accepts user/group ids.

Here is the output:

rvernica@mango:/var/trac> fusermount --version
fuse 2.4.2
rvernica@mango:/var/trac> sshfs loquat:/extra/rvernica0/var/apple/trac/group group -ouid=rvernica,gid=users
fuse: warning: unknown option `uid=rvernica'
fuse: warning: unknown option `gid=users'
rvernica@mango:/var/trac> fusermount -u group
rvernica@mango:/var/trac> sshfs loquat:/extra/rvernica0/var/apple/trac/group group -ouid=1001,gid=100
rvernica@mango:/var/trac>

Thanks,
Ray
