More informative error message for fuse_loop(3) failure

[mmcco]

FUSE's man pages describe fuse_loop(3) as follows:

fuse_loop() is the main loop of a FUSE program. This function looks for FUSE requests from the kernel and responds to them using the struct fuse_operation present in the structure fuse. It will return only if something goes wrong or if the kernel sends a FUSE_DESTROY opcode to libfuse.

It seems that a failure of this function suggests a general failure of the FUSE filesystem. However, fuse-exfat currently reports "FUSE loop failure" to stderr. It seems like it would be better to use a more general error message that users not familiar with FUSE internals can understand. Maybe something as simple as "FUSE filesystem crashed".

Thanks for your time, Michael

I agree that "FUSE loop failure" doesn't sound very good. The problem with this message is that it does not give users any idea about how to fix this error.
