+Filesystem type
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The filesystem type given to mount(2) can be one of the following:
+
+'fuse'
+
+  This is the usual way to mount a FUSE filesystem.  The first
+  argument of the mount system call may contain an arbitrary string,
+  which is not interpreted by the kernel.
+
+'fuseblk'
+
+  The filesystem is block device based.  The first argument of the
+  mount system call is interpreted as the name of the device.
+
