sshfs block the network on MacOS

[chaonan99]

SSHFS version 2.5 (OSXFUSE SSHFS 2.5.0)
OSXFUSE 3.8.2
FUSE library version: 2.9.7
MacOS: 10.14 (Mojave)

When I'm doing sshfs on MacOS, and if I do not enter the password, some other processes on the system are blocked (for example the network is blocked and I cannot open a new page in web browser or ssh to the server, etc.) until sshfs is finished (either enter the password or ctrl+c to cancel it). This is fine but the problem comes when I was also doing an ssh before that and do not enter the password, and separately run sshfs to some server, then everything on the system is unresponsive and I have to restart the computer.

I guess a simpler problem would be: when I am doing sshfs and does not enter the password, i.e. the process is not finished, the network is completely occupied. This does not happen with ssh (I could still open new tab in a web browser and enter password for an ssh session later on). So I wonder if there is a way to make sshfs also work like that?

Thanks for the report! I believe this is fixed in the newest SSHFS version, but sadly this is not yet available for OS X due to the lack of a recent libfuse.
