Is there a fix which will allow it to actually mount the volumes in /Volumes on Sierra? This is the reason I have tried installing it, and it's not particularly clear from the README as to whether this is supported or not…

OK, thanks — a shame Apple didn't think of this use case, but not a lot you can do…
