multipass mount doesn't work - bash: sshfs: command not found about multipass HOT 7 CLOSED

Weird, we're asking cloud-init to install it and still try and make sure it's there on each mount... I suppose we need to make surer.

If you try mounting before cloud-init has finished, this can happen. IMO we need to block commands like this until cloud-init finished

@popey would you say you were trying this very soon (say, within a minute) after the instance got started? If so, then at least we have an explanation (and a plan to resolve it).

No, some time after. Took me a while to grok the docs before I even tried.

Well, currently, we just set cloud-init to install sshfs in the VM and forget about it. So in this particular case, cloud-init was unable to install sshfs for some reason (non-functional networking, archive not available, etc.). So yeah, we need to add logic to check what's happening when mount fails and try to do something about it.

This bug is not fixed on Mac OS 10.14.6 Mojave. And when I restart the shell and try to do:

sudo su
apt-get update
apt-get install sshfs

It won't work because the apt-get update fails to reach the server and I can't even ping archive.ubuntu.com.

I just resolved my problem on the Mac. I edited /etc/resolv.conf and added nameserver 1.1.1.1 as the top line above the other nameserver line. I could then do dig google.ie properly. At that point, I could do apt-get update and then could run apt-get install sshfs.
