What options does sshfs support?

I figure that these actually come from fuse, but these options I am aware of • -o idmap=user – translates the user ID of the connecting user (see below) • -o uid= – use as the user identifiers on the client. • -o gid= – use as the group identifiers on the client. • -o nonempty – allow nonempty mount point. The user ID translation makes sure the files you see are owned by you. Say, your local user ID is 1234 and the user ID on the remote host is 5678. When you connect with -o idmap=user, everything that’s owned by 5678 appears to be owned by 1234, same applies other way round.
