Description

A lot of backends can throw exceptions that are swallowed by fsspec, we should at least log these errors in debug or info level using the builtin loggers with exc_info=True to improve the debugging experience of the library.

Research direction

Locate the backend exception-handling paths where fsspec currently swallows errors, then review how builtin loggers are used. Confirm which exceptions are swallowed and choose appropriate debug or info logging with exc_info=True; done means those failures provide useful exception details without changing backend behavior.
