This bug was fixed in the package s390-tools - 2.20.0-0ubuntu3.1

---------------
s390-tools (2.20.0-0ubuntu3.1) jammy; urgency=medium

  * Fix chreipl-fcp-mpath (LP: #1971993)
    - Move chreipl-fcp-mpath* from /lib/udev/rules.d to /lib/udev.
    - d/control:
      + Build-Depend on bsdextrautils for hexdump
      + Add multiple explicit Depends on udev
      + s390-tools-chreipl-fcp-mpath: drop unnecessary Depends on lvm2
    - No longer change attributes of chreipl-fcp-mpath-common.sh to 755,
      since only the input script '.in' has a she-bang, but not the '.sh'
      anymore (was done with commit c2f8988).
    - Add d/p/0d15a07-chreipl-fcp-mpath-bundle-a-pre-cooked-man-page.patch
      to bundle a pre-cooked version of the man page for chreipl-fcp-mpath
      Required minor context adjustment for CHANGELOG.md hunk
      and changes in d/rules.
    - Add missing README.md to s390-tools-chreipl-fcp-mpath.doc
      (and with that also the README.md for genprotimg to s390-tools.docs).
  * Add new CPU-MF Counters for new IBM Z hardware (LP: #1960119) by:
    - d/p/2515832-util_arch-Add-IBM-z16-as-known-machine.patch and
    - d/p/cce5f51-cpumf-lscpumf-Add-IBM-z16-extended-counter-set-def.patch
  * Add exploitation support of new IBM Z crypto hardware (LP: #1959548) with:
    - d/p/b16a6d4f-lszcrypt-add-CEX8S-support.patch
    - d/p/bcbb6fca-zcryptstats-add-CEX8-support.patch
    - d/p/4382901d-lszcrypt-show-AP-bus-msg-size-limit-capability.patch
    - d/p/27dce331-lszcrypt-add-support-for-checkstop-state.patch
    - d/p/a29b3c89-lszcrypt-new-options-to-show-only-accel-cca-or-ep11-.patch
    - d/p/a8b0d7ac-lszcrypt-new-options-to-filter-cards-queues-only.patch
    - d/p/46fd42af-lszcrypt-new-option-to-show-the-serial-numbers-of-CC.patch
  * Stabilization of data collection in dbginfo.sh script (LP: #1971959)
    by adding several upstream patches:
    - d/p/*-dbginfo.sh-*.patch
    - whereas one needed minor context adjutment for the CHANGELOG.md hunk:
      d/p/50a4740-dbginfo.sh-replace-which-by-builtin-command-type-for.patch
  * Fix cmsfs-fuse mount failure due to unknown option '-o hard_remove'
    (LP: #1978323) with:
    d/p/0981df6-cmsfs-fuse-fix-enabling-of-hard_remove-option.patch

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:
  ==================

  [Impact]

   * The cmsfs-fuse utility, that is part of the s390-tools,
     allows to mount z/VM (IBMs commercial hypervisor for IBM Z systems)
     CMS disks.

   * cmsfs-fuse (prior to the migration to fuse3) could use the
     'hard_remove' option without any problem - and it was the default.

   * While migrating to fuse3 all tools were adjusted,
     but it wasn't identified that the 'hard_remove' no longer works
     with fuse3 (only)..

   * Hence if one uses cmsfs-fuse on Ubuntu 22.04, the utility will
     fails  with error "fuse: unknown option(s): '-o hard_remove'".

   * The option '-o hard_remove' is (for whatever reason) hard coded.

  [Fix]

   * upstream commit 0981df62c05e71123bc14483bba347f17aafa59a "cmsfs-
  fuse: fix enabling of hard_remove option"

  [Test Plan]

   * Setup an Ubuntu 22.04 instance on the z/VM hypervisor
     and make sure the guest aware of at least one CMS formatted z/VM disk.

   * The cmsfs-fuse utility is part of the s390-tools package,
     which is mandatory for an Ubuntu on IBM Z Installation,
     so everything is installed and available with a default installation.

   * This disk needs to be defined in the z/VM guests 'user direct',
     which is actually the guest aka virtual machine definition as minidisk,
     like:
     MDISK 1607 3390 0001 10016 LM1607 RR

   * This disk will then be visible from inside the Linux z/VM guest like:
     $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.1607
     lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun  8 03:18 /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.1607 -> ../../dasdd
     (or use 'lsdasd')

   * Now just use 'cmsfs-fuse' to mount that disk:
     $ sudo cmsfs-fuse -t /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.1607 /mnt
     $

   * If the command comes back like above (on a system with the patch included),
     the mount was successful and one may 'ls' that disk.

   * In case of a broken tool one will get the error msg:
     $ sudo cmsfs-fuse -t -o allow_other /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.1607 /mnt
     fuse: unknown option(s): `-o hard_remove'
     $  
   
  [Where problems could occur]

   * Problem could occur in case this "-o hard_remove" is really
     required, but no longer available.

   * But this is handled by forcing an immediate file removal
     in 'cmsfs_oper_init'.

   * However things could break if cmsfs_oper_init is not properly
     called, but it's done as part of 'fuse_operations cmsfs_oper'.
  __________

  cmsfs-fuse fails to mount any cms file system since it forces the
  hard_remove option and it appears as though that option is no longer
  recognized by fuse 3.

  the recreate is very easy as I cannot yet get it to actually work. So,
  I would make a CMS formatted minidisk available to an Ubuntu 22.04
  z/VM virtual machine. Then, I used the following syntax:

  cmsfs-fuse -t -o allow_other /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0291 /mnt. The result of this command will be
  fuse: unknown option(s): `-o hard_remove'

  Similarly: cmsfs-fuse -t /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0291 /mnt will result in:
  fuse: unknown option(s): `-o hard_remove'

  At this point, I cannot find an example of the command that will
  actually allow the minidisk to be mounted.

  This but is for getting this included into the Ubuntu package for
  jammy.
