[fuse-devel] Invalid mount option on RH9

[Gerard J. C. <gj...@ci...>]

Hi List,

I had to back port my fuse file system to RH9 kernel  2.4.20-31.9 . 
Everything looks fine on my development machine where I can build and 
install fuse 2.7.2 from the distributed sources. I have a problem when I 
must install on a non-development machine (no build tools). I have done 
this trick on ES4 machines successfully.

When I try to start any fuse file system I get an error:

    -bash-2.05b# ./fusexmp_fh /mnt/mafs
    /bin/mount: invalid option -- i
    Usage: mount -V                 : print version
           mount -h                 : print this help
           mount                    : list mounted filesystems
           mount -l                 : idem, including volume labels
    So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
    The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
    Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
           mount -a [-t|-O] ...     : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
           mount device             : mount device at the known place
           mount directory          : mount known device here
           mount -t type dev dir    : ordinary mount command
    Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
    a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
    One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
           mount --bind olddir newdir
    or move a subtree:
           mount --move olddir newdir
    A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
    or by label, using  -L label  or by uuid, using  -U uuid .
    Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options].
    For many more details, say  man 8 mount .

The development machine and target both have mount version mount-2.11y

I used the fuse included libtool to install fusermount:

   ./libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c ./util/fusermount  
"/usr/local/bin/fusermount"

Any ideas what I missed on installing?
