Bug Description

The feedback `mount: mount(2) failed: No such file or directory` after `sudo mount -a` is obviously very unhelpful as it doesn't provide any information about the reason for the failure nor further instructions.

Please consider improving your integration test and code review routines in order to avoid such issues in the future.
