## Mac OSX -- OSXFUSE

It has been discovered that versions of `osxfuse` prior to `2.7.0` will cause a kernel panic. For everyone's sake, please upgrade (latest at time of writing is `2.7.4`). The installer can be found at https://osxfuse.github.io/. There is also a homebrew formula (`brew install osxfuse`) but users report best results installing from the official OSXFUSE installer package.

This is a tad confusing:

There is also a homebrew formula using cask but users report best results installing from the official OSXFUSE installer package:

which then goes on to show the homebrew install method.

Could you test IPFS with osxfuse 3.6.3? I'd like to update the suggested version as the 2.7 series is a bit out of date by this point but don't want to recommend a known broken version.

Yeah. Ended up not working for me:

Although, I'm not sure if that's directly related to the version of osxfuse or something else.

Possibly related: #1048

Make sure nothing is currently mounted on either /ipfs or /ipns (sometimes things don't get properly unmounted when stopping the daemon).

ipfs should probably do some sanity checks before attempting to mount. Should help mitigate these random issues a bit

The library we use bazil/fuse is not maintained currently. We might have to migrate to https://github.com/hanwen/go-fuse some time soon. We also really need to extract and clean up the fuseIPFS code into its own module.

We're going to switch to an entirely new system anyways.
