 Userspace filesystem:
-
   A filesystem in which data and metadata are provided by an ordinary
   userspace process.  The filesystem can be accessed normally through
   the kernel interface.
 
 Filesystem daemon:
-
   The process(es) providing the data and metadata of the filesystem.
 
 Non-privileged mount (or user mount):
-
   A userspace filesystem mounted by a non-privileged (non-root) user.
   The filesystem daemon is running with the privileges of the mounting
   user.  NOTE: this is not the same as mounts allowed with the "user"
   option in /etc/fstab, which is not discussed here.
 
 Filesystem connection:
-
   A connection between the filesystem daemon and the kernel.  The
   connection exists until either the daemon dies, or the filesystem is
   umounted.  Note that detaching (or lazy umounting) the filesystem

   With this option the maximum size of read operations can be set.
