Using autofs with sshfs: "no such file or directory" error

  • 772

After following instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs, I am able to mount directory via sshfs as root, however, autofs doesn't work for me.

My auto.master contains

/media/sshfs /etc/auto.sshfs        uid=1000,gid=1000,--timeout=30 --ghost

and auto.sshfs has

remote1     -fstype=fuse,rw,nodev,nonempty,noatime,allow_other,max_read=65536 :sshfs\#me@host\:

ls /media/sshfs/remote1 gives "No such file or directory". Any hints on what might be going wrong?

automount sshfs autofs

  1. Pay special attention to the manual page you referenced regarding 'copy your private key to /root/.ssh/" -- I received the same "no such file or directory" error until I added the private key. Once the key was added to /root/.ssh, my automount worked perfectly.
