title: osxfuse and sshfs on mac sierra. Error - mount_osxfuse: the file system is not available (255)
body: <p>So this seems to have been discussed on stackoverflow but still it doesn't solve my problem and hence here is the question:</p>
  
  <p><code>
   1. Logged into mac NOT as a root user. But I do have administrative privileges.
   2. Installed Fuse for macos (3.7.1) (https://osxfuse.github.io/)
   3. Rebooted mac.
   4. Installed sshfs (2.5.0) (https://osxfuse.github.io/)
   5. sudo mkdir ~/mount (Location I want to mount the linux volume)
   6. sudo sshfs myuser@myserver:/folderToMount ~/mount
   7. Also tried: sudo sshfs -o IdentityFile=~/.ssh/id_rsa myuser@myserver:/folderToMount ~/mount -o auto_cache,reconnect,defer_permissions
  </code></p>
  
  <p>I get the following error:</p>
  
  <p><code>mount_osxfuse: the file system is not available (255)</code></p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
