[fuse-devel] SIGHUP

[Mike H. <mh...@gl...>]

Hi,

Is there a particular reason that would justify that libfuse doesn't set
a signal handler for SIGHUP when the previous disposition was SIG_IGN ?

For usual programs, this makes sense to do so, but the fact is,
umount'ing the filesystem sends a SIGHUP signal to the program. So, if
for some reason, a nohuped script or whatever is mounting a fuse
filesystem, umount'ing it will leave the fuse process up and waiting for
things that will never come, since the mount point will be freed.
