From 658ee57b1e28f614952822ced9ed906a751ecdb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Disseldorp Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2026 14:38:53 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] docs: lklfuse: explain allow_other use lklfuse-mount@.service uses the FUSE "allow_other" mount option by default. If FUSE is not configured with "user_allow_other", the service fails with e.g.: fusermount3: option allow_other only allowed if 'user_allow_other' is set in /etc/fuse3.conf This update to the lklfuse manpage hopefully makes the error a little easier to avoid / resolve.
