The Linux 'user' option has the distinct advantage that it allows the administrator to specify which filesystems can be mounted by users. IIRC, Linux also permits the administrator to discriminate two variants: One in which an arbitrary user may mount and an (independently) arbitrary user may subsequently unmount, and a second in which an arbitrary user may mount, and only that same user (or root) may subsequently unmount, a specific given filesystem. It's good to have this kind of control. vfs.usermount does not directly support this control.
