I forgot one question.

If we do not adapt libstorage-ng. Will libstorage-ng survive if fstab contain 
lines like these?

10.10.10.10:6789:/     /mnt/ceph    ceph    
name=admin,secretfile=/etc/ceph/secret.key,noatime,_netdev    0       2

or 

gdfuse#default  /mnt/gdrive     fuse    allow_other     0       0
