This what libfuse does by default in lib/mount.c:
Toggle snippet (7 lines)
static void exec_fusermount(const char *argv[])
{
execv(FUSERMOUNT_DIR "/" FUSERMOUNT_PROG, (char **) argv);
execvp(FUSERMOUNT_PROG, (char **) argv);
}
However, we explicitly patch it because in practice the ‘fusermount’
binary must be at least set-user-gid to fuse, per mount.fuse(8):
Toggle snippet (9 lines)
;; This hack leads libfuse to search for 'fusermount' in
;; $PATH, where it may find a setuid-root binary, instead of
;; trying solely $out/sbin/fusermount and failing because
;; it's not setuid.
(substitute* "lib/Makefile"
(("-DFUSERMOUNT_DIR=[[:graph:]]+")
"-DFUSERMOUNT_DIR=\\\"/var/empty\\\""))
On GuixSD, this is addressed by having ‘fusermount’ setuid-root in
/run/setuid-programs, so things just work.
On foreign distros, there’s not much we can do: Users have to set add a
setuid ‘fusermount’ in their PATH.
Closing this bug as “wontfix.”
