fuse: unknown option `nofail'

[BloodBlight]

When the 'nofail' option is added in fstab, and attempting to mount after the system has already booted (just as adding the mount point, them using "mount /mnt/target" will result in the following error:

fuse: unknown option `nofail'
error in fuse_lowlevel_new

Probably the same issue as this:
libfuse/libfuse#211

Did you try using the FUSE3 client (althrough I'm unsure how to use it explicitly..., mfsmount3)?

Is it still relevant?

Sorry for not responding to @zseri, mfsmount3 is not available in focal (or Ubuntu 20.04) as best as I can tell. I am currently running 3.12.0+dfsg-4ubuntu1.

Just checked and yes, this does still appear to be an issue in libfuse2/focal,now 2.9.9-3 amd64:

fuse: unknown option `nofail'
error in fuse_lowlevel_new

[2022-06-22 11:15:25.072] [info] Received IO limits configuration update from master

I can install libfuse3, but I still don't have the mfsmount3 command... Is it only available in 3.13-rc3?

I am using erasure and this scares me:
"upgrading from 3.12 to 3.13 can potentially lose EC chunks"
