fusermount: Unmount a FUSE filesystem as soon as it becomes unused.
$ fusermount -z ${path-to-mount_point}
try on your machine

The command "fusermount -z ${path-to-mount_point}" is used to mount a file system on a specific directory using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) and enable compression for the mounted file system. Here's an explanation of the components:

  1. "fusermount": This is the command used to mount FUSE-based file systems. It allows non-root users to mount and unmount file systems without requiring administrative privileges.

  2. "-z": This flag enables compression for the mounted file system. Compression reduces the storage space used by files and can be beneficial for large files or directories with many files.

  3. "${path-to-mount_point}": This is the placeholder for the actual path where you want to mount the file system. You need to replace "${path-to-mount_point}" with the desired directory location on your system.

By running the "fusermount -z ${path-to-mount_point}" command, you can mount a file system using FUSE and enable compression for the mounted files.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
