sshfs mount directory disappears in Finder

OSX High Sierra, sshfs setup:

sshfs username@hostname:/tmp/mnt/cruzer64 /Users/user/mount

Listing the contents from the command line performs as expected:

ls /Users/user/mount

The target directory is returned in BASH:

la -l /Users/user | grep mount

The folder ~/mount disappears from Finder after the sshfs server is mounted.

• Why does the sshfs folder disappear in Finder and
• What can be done to restore visibility in finder?

The problem / issue is confined to the Finder application

Solution 1:

I am using sshfs with macFUSE, both from https://osxfuse.github.io with Monterey (12.0.1).

My mount point shows no change in Terminal, but in Finder, it's name changes to “macFUSE volume 0 (sshfs)” but that is harmless, and it changes back when dismounted.
