Quoting fusefrontend_reverse/node_helpers.go :
// File names are padded to 16-byte multiples, encrypted and
// base64-encoded. We can encode at most 176 bytes to stay below the 255
// bytes limit:
// * base64(176 bytes) = 235 bytes
// * base64(192 bytes) = 256 bytes (over 255!)
// But the PKCS#7 padding is at least one byte. This means we can only use
// 175 bytes for the file name.

Commit f3c777d5ea added the `-devrandom` option:

main: Add '-devrandom' commandline option
Allows to use /dev/random for generating the master key instead of the
default Go implementation. When the kernel random generator has been
properly initialized both are considered equally secure, however:
* Versions of Go prior to 1.9 just fall back to /dev/urandom if the
getrandom() syscall would be blocking (Go Bug #19274)
* Kernel versions prior to 3.17 do not support getrandom(), and there
is no check if the random generator has been properly initialized
before reading from /dev/urandom
This is especially useful for embedded hardware with low-entroy. Please
note that generation of the master key might block indefinitely if the
kernel cannot harvest enough entropy.
We now require Go v1.13 and Kernel versions should have also moved on.
Make the flag a no-op.

When a process has its working dir inside the mount,
the only way we notice is that we get EBUSY when trying
to unmount.
We used to lazy-unmount in this case, but this means
pulling the rug from under the process.
For example, bash will start throwing
cd: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
messages.

fusefrontend: drop xattr user namespace restriction
Feedback received during the recent Go user group. If you haven't
used FUSE before, you don't know how to unmount, and it was not
described in the man page!
As for the options, there are many, and new users are intimidated
by it. State clearly that defaults are fine.
When generating man pages, pandoc marks indented code blocks with the
roff macro '.nf'. That avoids a warning from man related to the long
line about the master key.
