I can reproduce this bug by: # Add the following line to my fstab: sshfs#...@10.0.2.4:/media/Backups/ash /media/Backups fuse user,noauto,reconnect,nonempty 0 0 # Click the entry "Backups" in the Nautilus "Computer" place.
Actual result: # Nautilus waits to connect to the server, displaying the message "Opening 'Backups'. You can stop this operation by clicking cancel." # Another icon with the same name "Backups" appears in the "Computer" place. The second icon contains the desired remote filesystem. # Eventually Nautilus times out with the message "Unable to mount location. Timeout waiting for mount to appear" Desired result: The mountpoint should mount under the first icon instead of creating another. Solution: The solution is to add the following option to the fstab line: fsname=sshfs#...@10.0.2.4:/media/Backups/ash This appears to tell Nautilus that the mounted filesystem and the fstab entry are the same item, and makes clicking the unmounted filesystem mount in the right place instead of creating another icon. I'm not sure if this is merely a configuration error or truly a bug, but I thought I'd provide the workaround here, because it's truly frustrating. I have attached a screenshot of this taking place. ** Attachment added: "Result of clicking the sshfs "Backups" icon." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sshfs-fuse/+bug/434680/+attachment/1764575/+files/Selection_001.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434680 Title: Mounting a ssh filesystem with FUSE succeeds but still gives error -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
