[gentoo-user] How to automate an sshfs (fusermount) mounted share

[gentoo-user] How to automate an sshfs (fusermount) mounted share

[Harry Putnam]

I'm sshfs mounting an solaris zfs file system in the interactive
fashion.

sshfs $USR@HOST:/file/system MOUNTPOINT
 passwd?
 enter passwd <RETURN>
 
Once mounted I run an rsnapshot backup onto the mounted FS.

Any ideas on how to go about doing this mount automatically (scripted)
will be greatly appreciated.

1) Set up your ssh to use keys. Key itself should not be protected
by password (or manual intervention will be needed on each mount).

2) Add sshfs command to your .bash_profile (or whatever login shell
you're using) with check that filesystem is not mounted already,
something like:
  grep -q $MOUNTPOINT || sshfs $USR@HOST:/file/system MOUNTPOINT

Alternatively you may add this to your DE/WM autostart scripts, if
you are using GUI logins only.

Best regards,

Or just add it to /etc/fstab:
user@host:/mountpoint /where/to/mount fuse.sshfs rw,exec,async,_netdev,auto,user,idmap=user,transform_symlinks,identityfile=/path/to/ssh/key,allow_other,default_permissions,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0

Check the manpages for which of those options you want.
ie, you might want to get rid of allow_other etc.

Iirc you may need to initiate a single regular ssh connection so you can
accept the servers key and have it added to the clients known hosts file,
first.
