+1

note however, that this change will likely break existing setups for users that apply legacy mount points (fstab style).

I've personally not used it, and perhaps it is impossible because of this very naming issue. I'll list an example of a sshfs (fuse) mountpoint for reference:

           sshfs#root@server:/ /server fuse comment=sshfs,noauto,users,allow_other,gid=1000,uid=1000,transform_symlinks 0 0

It won't break anything -- the formal way to specify in FSTAB is actually fuse#fsname. Check the fuse manpage.

Erm, thanks for that useful info.

Although I'm not all convinced why this guarantees nobody's setup will be broken?
Mine would have, had I used my (uncanonical?) syntax.
Perhaps you wanted to say: I don't care if this breaks setups that use unsupported fstab syntax.

Hello Seth

It would be nice to have it displayed same as encfs fuse in mtab: "fuse.zfs" - Like this it is possible to add zfs-fuse to PRUNEFS in /etc/updatedb.conf selectively if you don't want a zfs filesysten to be indexed by mlocate.
