Differences to lsof/fuser
- •
-
`lsof /home/user` and `fuser /home/user` would not list processes that have a descriptor open on /home/user/subdir.
- •
-
`fuser -m /home/subdir` would automatically go down to the root of a vfsmount (e.g. /home) and list all processes, instead of limiting to /home/subdir.
