Contributor guide

Research direction

Investigate the 'attempt to remount on active mount point' error on macOS. Check if the mount point already has a file system mounted, if there is a stale lock file, or if the FUSE kernel extension is properly loaded. Look at how the mount point is checked before mounting, and consider adding a force unmount option or detecting leftover mounts.
