#
# @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
#     allow_other as a non-root user requires user_allow_other to be
#     enabled in the global fuse.conf configuration file.  In auto
#     mode (the default), the FUSE export driver will first attempt to
