    --password password      User's password
    [--mount-point] path     Mount the Filespace at this mountpoint
    --label name             Windows only. The label of the Filespace drive.
    --root-point path        Folder within the Filespace to appear as the root folder. Path starts at the Lucid Filespace root.

    --reset-local-fs         Reset local file index and data cache due to inconsistency (e.g. caused by forceful shutdown)
    --rendezvous address     Set the rendezvous server address
    --root-path path         Set root path for the Filespace data and metadata
    [--all-snapshots]        Activate in snapshots mode

    [--fuse-allow-other]     Allow other users on this machine to access the filesystem (Linux and MacOS only)
    --proxy arg              Specify a proxy server to tunnel all communication. Use the following format: [protocol://][user:password@]proxyhost[:port]. Supported protocols: http. Not applicable for Azure object storage.

Windows:

Lucid daemon --fs <filespace.domain> --user <fsuser> --password <fsusrpwd> --mount-point L:

Linux/macOS:

lucid daemon --fs <filespace.domain> --user <fsuser> --password <fsusrpwd> --mount-point /mnt/filespace --fuse-allow-other 

Note: --mount-point can be folder path or drive letter (Windows only) --fuse-allow-other (Linux/macOS) enables other users to access the Filespace mount-point

For security purposes it will make sense to hide the password from daemon process lists. 

It is recommended you secure a password file containing your Filespace user password to parse to the daemon, this ensures only your user has authority to read its contents. 

Windows:

powershell -command "type pwd_file | lucid daemon --fs <filespace.daemon> --user <fsuser> --mount-point <mount>"

Linux/macOS:

cat pwd_file | lucid daemon --fs <filespace.daemon> --user <fsuser> --mount-point <mount>

Validate the process:

ps xuaf | grep Lucid | grep daemon
