One difference that I can see is that before, "user" was being passed but now, "user=$user" is being passed (and that gives an error too) With mount patched with the above patch, and "user" option in the fstab $ mount /mnt/ssh/path fusermount3: unknown option 'user=quinq But maybe that should be a different thread, what do you think?
