How may root check whether a Gocryptfs mount point exists (when in use)?

[lechner]

Hi,

This is probably a FUSE question, but I couldn't think of a better place:

I mount Gocryptfs volumes with the default FUSE options. The root user cannot look inside. My OS, however, insists on creating the mount point unless it exists. They use stat to check, which fails. Is that a bug in GNU Guile's stat, or should my OS check in a different way?

Thank you!

Kind regards Felix
