> Hi all,
> 
> When sshfs is invoked by eshell and allowed to daemonize (default),
> sshfs fails to mount the desired target directory. This seems to be
> caused by a SIGTERM signal being sent after sshfs daemonizes and enters
> the main fuse loop. (The return value of fuse_loop_mt is 15, which
> matches the return value when the process actually receives SIGTERM.
> Confirmed both by testing and documentation at [1].)
> 
> If I set process-connection-type to nil, sshfs works as expected. This
> isn't ideal because it can cause breakage elsewhere (e.g. ripgrep).
> 
> This issue sounds similar to a previous one with xdg-open [2].
> However, xdg-open's behavior seems to have been fixed in Emacs 29 ($
> xdg-open file.txt works on my machine), while this bug is present on 29.
> 
> For what it's worth, the problem also occurs when sshfs is invoked by a
> wrapper script and not eshell directly.
> 
> Tested in -Q.
