Description
Keybase client would always start with this error and won't mount the team keybase folder properly. Happy to provide more info.
> We were unable to load KBFS (Fuse kext). This may be due to a limitation in MacOS where there aren't any device slots available. Device slots can be taken up by apps such as VMWare, VirtualBox, anti-virus programs, VPN programs and Intel HAXM.
Please run `keybase log send` to report the error.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the KBFS mount failure on macOS and run `keybase log send` as requested in the issue. Investigate the KBFS Fuse kext loading path and the reported device-slot limitation involving VMware, VirtualBox, antivirus, VPN, or Intel HAXM. Done means the team Keybase folder mounts successfully or the environmental limitation is clearly identified.
