Description of problem: fusermount -u do not work after a broken ssh connection. The invalid mountpoint is in a strage state that locks the ls command. --- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fusermount version: 2.8.5 SSHFS version 2.2 FUSE library version: 2.8.5 fusermount version: 2.8.5 using FUSE kernel interface version 7.12 --- How reproducible: always --- Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount a remote ssh filesystem with sshfs 2.lost the ssh connection (wait for ``broken pipe or missing link errors, if you quickly plus/unplug nothing happens), then replug the cable 3.try to umount the ssf filesystem with fusermount -u --- Actual results: 1) I mount a distant folder: su pierre; cd ~; mkdir test; sshfs someone:/home/someone test; This mount is sucessfull and can be tested cat test/somefile; #WORKS touch test/someotherfile; #WORKS 2) For some reason ssh connection is lost for a long time (a cat eat a wire, I unpluged my ethernet cable or zombies from outer space decide to do so). Then I repear the connection (re plug the cable and kill the zoombies). 3) LS FAILS (except for the user who has mounted the filesystem) su root; ll /home/pierre; freeze the terminal (Ctrl +C do NOT work, but closing the terminal window and opening a new one is a workaround). Using autocompletion with tab tab freeze the terminal too. su pierre; ll /home/pierre; drwxr-xr-x. 2 pierre pierre 4096 5 mai 2010 Bananas d?????????? ? ? ? ? ? test 4) UMOUNT FAILS su pierre; fusermount -u /home/pierre/test; fusermount: entry for /home/pierre/test not found in /etc/mtab But fusermount lies: cat /etc/mtab | grep test; someone:/home/someone /home/pierre/test fuse.sshfs rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,max_read=65536 0 0 su -; umount /home/pierre/test; Terminal freezes but Ctrl +C works. --- Expected results: fusermount -u should unmount the filesystem, not freeze the terminal ls should work even if ssh is lost, the mounted folder must be in a state that do not generate strage bugs. Additional info: Workaround : reboot.
Hello. Could you, please, try latest fuse-sshfs (2.3, in updates-testing). It should handle disconnects much more gracefully.
Things seems to work now ;) Thank. --- DETAILS --- cd ~; mkdir test; sshfs someone:/home/someone test; 1) OK cat test/somefile; #WORKS touch test/someotherfile; #WORKS 2) ifconfig eth0 down #A zombie eat the cable 3) OK su root; ll /home/pierre; drwxr-xr-x. 2 pierre pierre 4096 5 mai 2010 Bananas su pierre ll /home/pierre; drwxr-xr-x. 2 pierre pierre 4096 5 mai 2010 Bananas 4)OK su pierre; fusermount -u /home/pierre/test; OR su -; umount /home/pierre/test; folder is sucessefully unmounted
