#sshfs

3 posts3 participants0 posts today

Is anyone else disappointed that #Tails #Linux removed #sshfs based on one maintainer's whim (in a tertiary release, with less than two weeks discussion) and still hasn't restored it?

"Presumably it's only useful for a few tech-savvy users, who'll be able to install it themselves." -- <shout> Not on an ISO liveboot VM where amnesia can't use sudo! </shout>

Today I learned you can use #SSHFS to auto mount a directory over SFTP such that it appears like a local directory to desktop userland applications. I've noticed that some applications don't like letting you save files directly to GVFS or other locations for network folders mounted by the user, but SSHFS just uses SFTP and can run at boot via fstab to make a network mount look like a local folder. Very handy for sharing folders with VMs in a transparent manner.

Anyone have any experience with SSH crashing when Plex accesses a share via SSHFS? I've set it up with auto mount now, so it fixes itself when I restart the episode, but it's interfering with my lazy days watching Stargate SG-1. 😁

I guess I could try to set it up with something else, but I stream a lot of data back and forth from my PC to the Synology NAS, and it's never been a problem except for when using Plex.
