Technically, comma _is_ valid in a dir name, as you say ... so perhaps the new mount API handling would need to be modified to have an escape for this and not split it automatically, if the underlying FS doesn't want that? Or we just revert cd140ce9f611 too? I feel like perhaps we just found a corner case - clearly the new mount API assumes that mount options are always comma-separated, but, well, turns out that's simply not true since hostfs has only a single option and treats the whole thing as a single string. johannes
