sshfs 2.2[2.4] No fstab support

Reported by: craig.fairhurst@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: drkp (Dan Ports)
Port: sshfs

Description

I thought it should be noted that the current sshfs version, 2.2, does not support /etc/fstab. The required version for fstab is version 2.4. The resulting effect is you are required to issue the sshfs command everytime you log in/out and/or reboot. Largely makes sshfs pointless at version 2.2, unless you append the command to bashrc and start Terminal on every login, to get around the lack of fstab support.

Kind regards

Thanks. I marked it as High because there is no native support in Mac OS X to replicate the behaviour provided by /etc/fstab. You can setup a "Startup Item" as a Bash Script in System Preferences -> Accounts -> Startup Items, however it is not possible to do this silently. (as the "hide" option would suggest)

Kind regards

Have you considered a launchd.plist as a user LaunchAgent? It would be run whenever the user logs in (that is, their keychain is unlocked and you can use their SSH keys).

Never used it before, rings a couple of bells, although not sure what I'd need to do. Will take a look. Thanks

Hi

I've taken another look at this, the user LaunchAgent is simply too complicated. If sshfs could be upgraded to 2.4 it would be a big help.

Kind regards

The latest version of sshfs is 2.3, and even that was only released a month ago. There is no v2.4.

You can set up automounting from the fstab using the instructions at http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/AUTOMOUNTING
