#57676: sshfs 2.x unable to create mount points (Sierra/High Sierra and later)
------------------------------+--------------------
Reporter: matt-hammond-bbc | Owner: (none)
Type: update | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.5.4
Keywords: | Port: sshfs
------------------------------+--------------------
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.

* Original issue raised for osxfuse:
https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/issues/306
* Issue for sshfs: https://github.com/osxfuse/sshfs/issues/27
* The change to sshfs 3.x:
https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs/commit/861d308a03319e23286290ee8cffc6fd307e0ec9


Example:
{{{
$ sshfs ***@SERVER:/ /Volumes/XXXX
-oreconnect,volname="SERVERNAME",idmap=user
mount: realpath /Volumes/XXXX: No such file or directory
}}}
