Use the -o intr mount option on FreeBSD (#462)
FUSE file systems normally indicate their interruptibility by returning ENOSYS to the first FUSE_INTERRUPT operation. But that causes two problems for file systems that aren't interruptible: 1) A process may block on a signal, even if another thread could've handled the signal. The kernel must know whether the FUSE thread is interruptible before deciding which thread should receive a signal. 2) The protocol allows a FUSE daemon to simply ignore FUSE_INTERRUPT operations. From the kernel's point of view, that is indistinguishable from a FUSE_INTERRUPT operation arriving after the original operation had already completed. Thus, the kernel can't interpret an ignored FUSE_INTERRUPT as an indication that the daemon is non-interruptible. With the -o nointr mount option, no FUSE_INTERRUPT operations will ever be sent. Most FUSE file systems should require no modifications to take advantage of this mount option.
