Description

Today if the mounting of a file system fails or times out, the host sees an error No such device : '/home/LogFiles/Application/Functions/Host' after attempting to restart multiple times. This error can be handled more gracefully instead of abruptly failing to point to the issue being with the fileshare mounting.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Linux Dedicated failure when the file-system mount times out or fails, then trace how repeated host restarts surface the No such device error for /home/LogFiles/Application/Functions/Host. Done means the host reports the file-share mounting problem clearly instead of failing abruptly; the issue names no files or tests to begin with.
