Still unable to connect to sshfs shares on startup

[kainwolf]

I am still unble to connect to sshfs shares on 12.04 startup

I have tried the instructions from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=430312 (which works on my 10.04 machines) placing the following in /etc/fstab, and adding the :

sshfs kain@charizard:/home/kain /home/kain/charizard fuse defaults,noauto,users,uid=1000,gid=1000,reconnect, follow_symlinks,comment=sshfs 0 0
which results only in the error:
An error occurred while mounting kain@charizard:/home/kain.
Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.

Also placing the command in .bashrc and/or .bash_profile:

sshfs kain@charizard:/home/kain /home/kain/charizard
doesn't mount the share, yet it mounts ok when typed in to a shell prompt after the system has booted.

I think this is because fstab "auto" mounts are mounted before the network is up. There's a parameter _netdev that tells it to wait, but the doc suggests it's only for nfs mounts. I'm not sure if there's a general solution to this need - I thought there was.

Did you look at the "if.up" script mentioned in the post you linked to? That would run when the network starts.

It seems that way... fstab is mounting before network is up, must have been a change from previous versions (at least a change from 10.04)

I have the scripts for if.up/mountsshfs and if.down/umountsshfs there, with 755 permissions. But I can't tell if they're running or not.

If I could even run the shell command after login it would be fine. But I can't find a place to put it where it would run. (I have the same problem with an xmodmap command.)

To run at login, you could go to System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Autostart.

If you want to debug those scripts (at least, get some confirmation they are running) you could add logger commands. See man logger

Thanks, creating a script with the sshfs command and putting it in the Autostart seems to work.
