I emerged sshfs-fuse and tried mounting a volume via sshfs, and it worked fine. After a reboot however it does not. When I mount the mountpoint dissapears (!??). This is the command I use:

Code:

sshfs ecce@daisy:/mnt/ftp/ /mnt/daisy


It asks for password and accepts the password I type. When I unmount the mountpont shows up again.

What's wrong?

This sounds like what happened to me. I mounted an sshfs volume as root, but when I navigated to it in Konq it had vanished. I'm guessing this is something to do with the "user-space" nature of the underlying fuse module: when I mounted the volume as my normal user, it was fine.

Note: you'll need to own/have write access to the mount-point for your user to mount it. You'll also need to 'modprobe fuse' as root as udev didn't create /dev/fuse for me (I'm about to make enquiries as to whether this can be rectified).

typo's can do that, you know :wink:

if the directory on the server does not exist, sshfs still pretends to be mounting something
in your directory listing, your mountpoint is gone, but bash-completion still works!

fusermount -u brings it back

is this a bug, or what

Code:
$ sshfs server:/non-existing-dir mountpoint
$ ls -l mountpoint
ls: mountpoint: No such file or directory
$ sudo ls -l mountpoint
ls: mountpoint: Permission denied # <= does this mean root can still see it?
$ sudo su root
# ls
mountpoint
# ls -l
ls: mountpoint: Permission denied
total 0
# exit
$ mount
...
sshfs#david@thin-server-dev:/non-existing-dir on /home/david/mnt/mountpoint type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,max_read=65536,user=david)
$ fusermount -u mountpoint
