I can confirm this. I've been using sshfs since around Breezy and am how using Gutsy and Hardy, and in every version I've had this problem, although I have the impression it's become more consistent since Gutsy. Here are some observations I've made:
1. sshfs locks up consistently (no exceptions) whenever left idle for over maybe 20 or 30 minutes, regardless of what host I'm connected to and what kind of network connection I use (wireless, t1, cable). 2. Any program (terminal, nautilus, media player, etc.) that tries to access an sshfs file/directory locks up (sometimes uninterruptibly). 3. The only way to unlock these programs is to kill the ssh process (ssh -x -a -oClearAllForwardings=yes -2 remotehost.org -s sftp). I used to lazy unmount ("fusermount -uz mountpoint"), which frees up the mount point but leaves the ssh and other processes hanging. I'll have to try to see if it still happens without network-manager--it may be that I started having this problem when I started using NM. I think this is a major problem that makes sshfs practically unusable for anyone who doesn't like to constantly kill and restart processes through the command line. -- sshfs locks up randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
