My local linux user group. Chuckle. I am 1 of a group of 3. Not
too many linux users in these here parts. I am quite likely 100
miles from the nearest "user group" that numbers 10 or more.

Debian Wheezy. With TDE.

Hi Gene!
I dropped NFS on linux ages ago, due to simillar issues as you
describe. Now I use SSHFS and haven't had any issues since then.
So, what about using SSHFS instead of NFS?
Nik
Never heard of it till now. So I installed it, along with sshmenu
which pulled in a dozen other rubyish packages.
Silly Q though, does mc understand sshfs? Or do I need to find a
new 2 pane file manager that does understand it?
One thing's for sure, NFS, even V4 is old enough to have bit rot.
Thanks Nik. Off to read some man pages.

Hi Gene!
SSHFS is just like any other filesystem, so mc has no problems with
that. But may I ask, what you do with sshmenu? Usally I just mount
remote directories like that:
sshfs nik@somehost:/just/the/path /where/i/want/it
And that works, once I had done a "sudo chown -R gene:gene /sshnet"
ls -l's now work on /sshnet/shop. With my pw. Expected, I am limited to
what I own on shop, but thats a heck of a lot better than before. I'll
get all the details together in a script. I assume we still have an
expect util I can feed with my pw yet? I haven't looked lately, as in
5+ years & several installs ago. To late in the night here, or too
early in the morning to spend a lot of time on it until I've found some
more sleep.
Thanks Nik.
and unmount:
fusermount -u /where/i/want/it
I'll let reboots do that. :)
Nik
