Unmount nonexistent directories on start
Metadata
Current evaluation
Open, triaged enhancement to remove stale host-directory mounts before starting reused instances; missing-path validation is proposed, but the full decision rule remains unspecified.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The issue is explicitly labeled Status: Triaged and was opened by maintainer lengau; it identifies a concrete startup failure caused by stale mounts and proposes checking whether the host directory exists. No resolving PR or commit is reported, and the statement that how to decide is still unknown leaves design details to investigate rather than closing it.

Issue body
### What needs to get done
If mounting a directory would cause start to fail, we should unmount that directory before starting.
How we decide that is still unknown, but we can begin with whether the host directory exists or not.
