# @growable: Whether writes beyond the EOF should grow the block node
#     accordingly.  (default: false)
#
# @allow-other: If this is off, only qemu's user is allowed access to
#     this export.  That cannot be changed even with chmod or chown.

#     with the FUSE mount option "allow_other". Note that using

#     enabled in the global fuse.conf configuration file.  In auto
#     mode (the default), the FUSE export driver will first attempt to
