57The filesystem type given to mount(2) can be one of the following:
58
59'fuse'
60
61 This is the usual way to mount a FUSE filesystem. The first
62 argument of the mount system call may contain an arbitrary string,
63 which is not interpreted by the kernel.
64
65'fuseblk'
66
67 The filesystem is block device based. The first argument of the
68 mount system call is interpreted as the name of the device.
