Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.4.7.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)

LO strace
I'm unable to start any LO components if /home directory (most likely some
relevant to LO parts of it) is located on mergerFS.
yaro@yaro-desktop2:~$ mergerfs.ctl info
- mount: /home
version: 2.33.5
pid: 630
srcmounts:
- /mnt/md0
- /mnt/md1
yaro@yaro-desktop2:~$
yaro@yaro-desktop2:~$ findmnt /home
TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/home mergerfs fuse.mergerfs
rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other
yaro@yaro-desktop2:~$
------------
LO execution example (no output, nor error at all):
yaro@yaro-desktop2:~$ C_ALL=C libreoffice --version
yaro@yaro-desktop2:~$
And now if I "redirect" $HOME to the drive where .config (and most of the other
/home content) is located:
yaro@yaro-desktop2:~$ LC_ALL=C HOME="/mnt/md1/yaro" libreoffice --version
LibreOffice 6.4.7.2 40(Build:2)
yaro@yaro-desktop2:~$
It works fine. Writer, calc etc can be started without any problems. For some
reasons, LO doesn't like mergerFS and just exit without any message or error.
I also checked strace but it did not provide me any extra information. But I'm
not good at it. :) Output provided in attachment.
I observe the same behavior on ubuntu 22.04, neon 20.04 and some relatively new
fedora. So it's not distro related.
I also reported bug on mergerFS github at:
