Description

```
>keybase service 1
▶ INFO Service#Run() exiting with error sync /home/ojf/.local/share/keybase/keybase.leveldb: operation not supported (code 0) [tags:SVC=1vz_BEyn9Acv]
▶ ERROR sync /home/ojf/.local/share/keybase/keybase.leveldb: operation not supported
```

I suspect it might be the real error behind `keybase.service` not starting either, with nothing logged.

I think it's 'not supported' because `/home/ojf` is a FUSE mountpoint? Though having said that, `sync --file-system ` works fine; it's `sync --data ` that doesn't.

Research direction

Start with the keybase service output and compare the mentioned sync --file-system and sync --data commands on the FUSE-mounted path. Done means determining whether the unsupported sync operation explains the service startup failure and resolving or clearly documenting that failure path.
