Package: fuse
Version: 2.9.3-10
Severity: normal

When I try to use httpfs2 from within an initramfs-tools ramdisk,
I get

  httpfs2 http://example.net/filesystem.squashfs /filesystem
  /bin/mount: invalid option --

There's no instance of "--" in the httpfs2 source.
In both 2.9.0-2+deb7u1 and 2.9.3-10, fuse source appears to be calling
mount like this:

  /bin/mount --no-canonicalize -i -f -t type -o opts fsname mnt

That option is *not* supported by klibc-utils' mount:

  $ /usr/lib/klibc/bin/mount --no-canonicalize
  /usr/lib/klibc/bin/mount: invalid option --

The immediate result is live-boot's documented support for loading the
rootfs *on demand* over HTTP using httpfs, simply can't work.  This is
annoying because (I think) I could have done load balancing more
easily on HTTP than on iSCSI.
