* ERROR: unable to parse 'branches'

Hi guys,
I have an issue and I'm trying for a day to troubleshoot.
I'm using OMV and I cannot create pool in the GUI, it errors out when applying changes.

In the CLI, if I run the following, everything works perfectly

sudo mkdir /mnt/test
sudo mount -t fuse.mergerfs /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Media/Media:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Media2/Media2 /mnt/test

However, with this command in which I also specify the options, it gives this error:

sudo mount -t fuse.mergerfs test1:pool1 /mnt/pool -o branches=/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Media/Media:/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Media2/Media2,category.create=mfs,minfreespace=50G,fsname=test1:pool1,defaults,allow_other,cache.files=off,use_ino
* ERROR: unable to parse 'branches' - test1:pool1
* ERROR: mountpoint not set

How can I find the naughty option that causes this?
Thank you

Using the mergerfs command is the recommended and documented way to use it.

That said it's like any other filesystem to use with mount

mount -t fuse.mergerfs -o use_ino,allow_other,... /mnt/a:/mnt/b /mnt/mergerfs
