Descrizione

Describe the bug The mount options are silently dropped on timeout

To Reproduce How, and what happened?

  1. multipass launch -n a --timeout 5 --mount ~/dir:/mnt/dir
  2. Error does not mention the missed mounts, even if the instance eventually reaches the running state.

Expected behavior Multipass should clarify to the user that the mount flags are dropped if the mount initialization part is not reached.

  • CPU architecture or model: amd64
  • multipass version: 1.17.0-dev
