FUSE error: Transport endpoint is not connected

Question

I\'m trying to implement the FUSE filesystem. I am receiving this error:

cannot access MountDir: Transport endpoint is not connected

Answer 1

This typically is caused by the mount directory being left mounted due to a crash of your filesystem. Go to the parent directory of the mount point and enter fusermount -u YOUR_MNT_DIR.

If this doesn't do the trick, do sudo umount -l YOUR_MNT_DIR.
