I'd prefer not to add more mount options like this. It would be nice to move away from async FUSE_INIT. It's one of those things I wish I'd done differently. Unfortunately I don't think adding FUSE_INIT_SYNC would be sufficient, as servers might expect the first request to be always FUSE_INIT and break if it isn't. Libfuse seems to be okay, but... One idea is to add an ioctl that the server would call before mounting, that explicitly allows FUSE_INIT_SYNC. It's somewhat ugly, but I can't think of a better solution. Thanks, Miklos
