Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the janitoring :)

Well this is only true when fsdriver == local, but the other fs drivers,
ie. proxy and synth, don't need it at all. Each driver has its own set of
options actually. This should better be described with separate lines IMHO.

Also, it should be stated that "id" relates to the fs backend, ie. it
belongs to the -fsdev "id" space, not to the device that gets exposed
to the guest.

Cheers,

Ok, then this is wrong in the output of "--help" instead.

Hmm, maybe it would be better if you do this patch, since you've
definitely got way more knowledge here than I do... Otherwise, I can
have a try, but it might take a while till I get back to this...

Yeah, I've taken a look and both the usage and the man page need
fixing...
