[Bug 1557145] [NEW] feedback "mount: mount(2) failed: No such file or directory" is unhelpful

[Karl-Philipp Richter]

Public bug reported:

The feedback `mount: mount(2) failed: No such file or directory` after
`sudo mount -a` is obviously very unhelpful as it doesn't provide any
information about the reason for the failure nor further instructions.

Please consider improving your integration test and code review routines
in order to avoid such issues in the future.
