Installation

The latest standalone mount client binary can be downloaded and installed as follows:

sudo curl -s https://get.flexfs.io/v1.7.x/linux/$(uname -m)/mount.flexfs -o /sbin/mount.flexfs
sudo chmod +x /sbin/mount.flexfs

note

By default, flexFS mount clients will attempt to automatically update themselves to the latest published version. However, they can only do so when their mounts are not busy (e.g. with programs having working directories under a mount). To check for applications using a mount (and therefore potentially preventing auto updating), you can use sudo lsof <mount-point>. If necessary, you can also manually update by unmounting all mount points, performing the above installation steps, and then mounting all mount points again.
