the "REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED" error is erroneously reported as "read: Connection reset by peer".

see the difference between omitting -v and adding -v here:

$ sshfs -o allow_other -o reconnect -o follow_symlinks root@domain:/ /remote/domain
read: Connection reset by peer
$ sshfs -o allow_other -o reconnect -o follow_symlinks root@domain:/ /remote/domain -v
