#57676 assigned update
sshfs 2.x unable to create mount points (Sierra/High Sierra and later)
Reported by: | matt-hammond-bbc (Matt Hammond) | Owned by: | drkp (Dan Ports) |

Description (last modified by matt-hammond-bbc (Matt Hammond))
A change in Mac OS Sierra and later has locked down permissions on /Volumes such that it is not possible to create mount points without root privileges. Request that this port be updated to sshfs 3.x to resolve this.
The security changes to Sierra and later: https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2016/09/21/macos-sierras-volumes-folder-is-no-longer-world-writable/
osxfuse 3.5.0 added support to automatically create mount-points, but sshfs also needed changes to stop it checking that the mount-point already exists. This change has been made to the 3.x branch, but not the 2.x branch.

- sshfs @2.10_0

Yes, if I understand you correctly. The right version of Osxfuse will create the mount point. What is important is that sshf should not object if the mount point does not yet Exist.

sshfs 2.10 contains the patch https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs/blob/42dfaf9a5bdc1ee429c7718e8788ca37a5763e0d/sshfs.c#L4038
In any case, I receive the following error if I use /Volume. Works flawless with ~/test directory
If I understand correctly the new behaviour, osxfuse could create the mount-point in /Volume and use it. right?
thanks
macOS 10.14.3 18D109
Xcode 10.1 10B61
osxfuse @3.8.3_0
sshfs @2.10_0
