> Is there a way to specify --disable-direct-io-mode in fstab?


 volume fuse
   type mount/fuse
   option direct-io-mode 1
   option entry-timeout 1
   option attr-timeout 1
   option mount-point /mnt/storage
   subvolumes unify
 end-volume

you can give the options to fuse in the vol file.

It should not happened. If you get any clues on the reproducing steps
