+To enable mounting a volume using rclone via an fstab entry, a following script can be used:
+
+    #!/bin/bash
+    
+    src=$1
+    dst=$2
+    
+    shift 2
+    
+    # Process -o parameters
+    while getopts :o: opts; do
+    	case $opts in
+    		o)
+    			parms=`echo $OPTARG | sed -e 's/,/ /g'`
+    			for parm in $parms; do
+    				if [ $parm == "rw"   ]; then continue; fi
+    				if [ $parm == "dev"  ]; then continue; fi
+    				if [ $parm == "suid" ]; then continue; fi
+    				if [ $parm == "exec" ]; then continue; fi
+    				if [ $parm == "noexec" ]; then continue; fi
+    				if [ $parm == "nosuid" ]; then continue; fi
+    				if [ $parm == "nodev" ]; then continue; fi
+    				trans="$trans --$parm"
+    			done
+    			;;
+    		\?)
+    			echo "Invalid option: -$OPTARG"
+    			;;
+    	esac
+    done
+    
+    trans="$trans $src $dst"
+    
+    PATH=$PATH rclone mount $trans &
+    sleep 5
+
+
+Then in fstab you can add something like:
+
+    rclonefs#crypt:/path /mnt/tmp fuse config=/home/user/.rclone.conf,allow-other,default-permissions,read-only,max-read-ahead=16M 0 0
+
+Obviously, change the path to your config appropriately, and the name of the remote (in the above case "crypt" and the paths.
+
+Important:
+rclonefs wrapper has to be in the PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin. mount is suid and doesn't ignores pre-set PATHs. Similarly, rclone invocation fails to find fusermount if not invoked with PATH=$PATH explicitly set.
