If you (or the server) lose network connectivity or change IP address while you're working over sshfs, it's a bit inconvenient. Sshfs uses fuse, so initially it will just block I/O if the server is not reachable. But if the issue lasts for too long, from my experience the mountpoint will either block I/O forever, return I/O errors or get unmounted. Of course, on a local network, you're less likely to encounter issues. Baptiste
