I need the PID so that perfused(8) can kill(2) the remote process if it
ignored FUSE_DESTROY.

glusterfs does ignore it. For now I can mount the glusterfs filesystem
like this (everything needed is in /etc/fstab)
# mount /gfs 

But unmount with umount /gfs is a problem, as perfused(8) sends
FUSE_DESTROY to glusterfs, do the actual unmounting, and then quits. As
glusterfs isgnored the FUSE_DESTROY, it remain there and will prevent
the next mount /gfs
