If one 1.7 +of these virtual directories is accessed and is not already automounted, afuse 1.8 +will attempt to mount a filesystem onto that directory. If the mount succeeds 1.9 +the requested access proceeds as normal, otherwise it will fail with an error. 1.10 + 1.11 +The advantage of using afuse over traditional automounters is afuse runs 1.12 +entirely in user-space by individual users. Thus it can take advantage of the 1.13 +invoking users environment, for example allowing access to an ssh-agent for 1.14 +password-less sshfs mounts, or allowing access to a graphical environment to 1.15 +get user input to complete a mount such as asking for a password.
