[sshfs] sshfs hangs/blocks often after suspend/resume cycle: configurable timeout?

[Daniel H. <gen...@th...>]

Hello,

I am using the following commands to mount a remote file system via sshfs:

sshfs -o reconnect -o ro -o allow_other -o user=www-data host:/remote/path1 /mnt/sshfs-ro/local1
sshfs -o reconnect -o ro -o allow_other -o user=www-data host:/remote/path2 /mnt/sshfs-ro/local2

The problem is that after resuming the laptop, accessing /mnt/union/local1 (or /mnt/sshfs-ro/local1) might block for a long time. That means that a simle `ls` will hang for minutes, and is not interruptable using Ctrl-C.
This also might happen when changing networks (from wired to wifi).

Is it possible to make sshfs behave better when resuming from suspend or changing networks?

I could not find an option to set/lower a timeout sshfs would use to re-connect to the remote host.


FWIW, I am using unionfs-fuse on top of sshfs, but the blocking appears to result from sshfs.


Thanks,
Daniel.
