Hi, I followed
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/467081/sshfs-with-on-demand-mounting/ 546102 to automount a directory with sshfs. I added into /etc/fstab sshfs#fs:/mnt/disk/data/spatzen /home/spatzen/Ablage fuse noauto,allow_other,x-systemd.automount,_netdev,user,IdentityFile=/home/ spatzen/.ssh/id_rsa,reconnect 0 0 Generated as described on stackexchange a unit file: systemctl daemon-reload root@nanette:~# systemctl list-unit-files --type automount UNIT FILE STATE home-spatzen-Ablage.automount generated proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount static 2 unit files listed. root@nanette:~# Restarted the automount unitfile (even rebooted), but when I try to automount, I get a strange error spatzen@nanette:~$ ls -l /home/spatzen/Ablage/ ls: cannot access '/home/spatzen/Ablage/': Too many levels of symbolic links spatzen@nanette:~$ It seems the system is doing something, but not the right thing. If I mount manually as user spatzen (mount /home/spatzen/Ablage) that works well... Any idea and hint is welcome. Thanks Rainer
