Transport Endpoint Not Connected

[polyboi]

I'm getting the exact same behaviour described in the readme where libfuse or mergerfs are crashing when interacting with the mount and I get an error message stating "transport endpoint not connected". The only problem is that I'm already on a higher versions of both mergerfs and libfuse. I was originally trying this on Ubuntu 18.04 but did a clean install of 22.04 hoping it would fix it but I'm still getting the same issues. I built mergerfs from source and I'm trying to mount the pool with these options...

allow_other,use_ino,cache.files=off,dropcacheonclose=true,category.create=eepfrd

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
