Go through the prerequisites required by both, kernel as well as FUSE mounts,
in `Mount CephFS: Prerequisites`_ page.
-.. note:: Mounting CephFS using FUSE requires superuser privileges to trim dentries
- by issuing a remount of itself.
+.. note:: Mounting CephFS using FUSE requires superuser privileges (sudo/root).
+ The libfuse interface does not provide a mechanism to trim cache entries in the
+ kernel so a remount (``mount(2)``) system call is required to force the kernel
+ to drop the cached metadata. ``ceph-fuse`` issues these remount system calls
+ periodically in response to cache pressure in the MDS or due to metadata cache revocations.
