lazy umount for fuse mounts

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Would adding the -z option (lazy unmounting) make any sense? if something accesses the fuse mounts and one kills the daemon there are still lingering mounts left behind, preventing a restart.

The only problem I see would be that it could shadow other bugs leaving the filesystem mounted, but all other umount command either do their job, block or report an error.

Yeah... fuse is tricky that way. I'd really like to move towards running the fuse mount as a separate process, independent of the daemon (although it wouldnt function properly without the daemon running).

Seems to be a duplicate of #1248 which describes fuse messiness after unclean shutdown of ipfs.
