SSHFS AUTOmount on Feisty

[Jungleboss]

Please delete this. I found the solution to my problem in this thread. sorry

[joe4379]

- 5 STAR scripting !!!!

I registered just to say SPANKS A LOT !!!!

Confirmed working on Maverick. Solid.

btw, fyi, and fwiw, this was the missing piece of my network-search-indexing puzzle. now gdsearch is crawling my doc server with no babysitting or cmdline sshfs cmds.

joe4379, I should warn you that sshfs can be unreliable under heavy load. If it works for you, then go for it. But don't be surprised when it randomly hangs or disconnects.

Darwin, with the proper parameters, a SSH link can be very stable.

I've tested playing remote videos, and working through internet.
A well configured network can be used with fuse.sshfs for production with a file server (no Samba/CIFS, no FTP, no NFS).

Thanks for this awesome script!

However, for some reason, it prevents my machine from suspending or hibernating. (Maverick, Mactel)

I wonder if autofs (and its esoteric auto.master, auto.* config files) would hold up better to suspending.

[narcisgarcia]

I think is necessary to unmount when suspending or hibernating.
I don't know which events can be intercepted to run unmounting and mounting commands.

I followed the instructions in this thread to persistently mount an sftp share between reboots, and met with authentication issues and errors at every twist and turn (most of which is probably due to me being a n00b). So that was all a good learning experience, BUT...

How's this for an alternative:

1. In gnome, got to System > Preferences > Startup Applications
2. Click Add
3. Enter this in the Command field: gvfs-mount sftp://location.to/my_bookmark

I'm using Maverick, and this worked perfectly for me, and took about 30 seconds with 0 command line (yes, I'm lazy).

This should work for anyone who can connect to the share using Places > Connect to Server, as a starting point. The resulting mount point is under~/.gvfs

Adding 'gvfs-mount' to your startup programs is an acceptable solution, but be aware that if your computer frequently disconnects and reconnects to the network, you will have to manually remount your shares. The main reason I wrote this howto was to automate this process of re-connecting.

If you follow the howto as written, then sshfs shares should be unmounted when suspending or hibernating. If not, then your computer may not be explicitly disconnecting from the network before going to sleep.

I'm getting this for erros:

root@capone:/home/ryan# /etc/network/if-up.d/mountsshfs
read: Connection reset by peer
/home/ryan/fuse failed to mount as #1000
root@capone:/home/ryan#

root@capone:/home/ryan# id ryan

root@capone:/home/ryan#

fstab properties:
sshfs#ryankrizan@youecho.com:/home/ryankrizan /home/ryan/fuse fuse comment=sshfs,noauto,users,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000, allow_other,reconnect,transform_symlinks,BatchMode =yes 0 0

Removing uid/gid settings in fstab, able to run the mount script as root without issue. However, will not run at startup after network starts. If I run the mount script after network startup, it asks for a private keyring password.

Suggestions?
