Christian, this mount shouldn't be there. No one should use the owfs
binary for production. It has a naughty race condition which cannot be
fixed without file locking – which no user program uses when accessing
the filesystem presented by owfs.
Distributions should fix their installations disabling the "owfs" binary
by default, instead install and configure the owserver binary and the
owread, owwrite, owget, owdir shell access tools.
There's no use in fiddling with the owfs mountpoint. The whole idea is
known to be broken and should be replaced by owserver+friends.
Kind regards
Jan
