i'm setting up auto.sshfs, provided by rpm -qa | grep ^autofs autofs-5.1.6-7.fc32.x86_64 on a new server grep PRETTY /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Fedora 32 (Server Edition)" my (usual) config, in-place on all my prior/other-OS boxes, includes cat /etc/auto.master /mnt/nfs4 /etc/auto.nfs4 --timeout=10,--ghost /mnt/sshfs /etc/auto.sshfs --timeout=30,--ghost where mounts are typically, cat /etc/auto.sshfs example -fstype=fuse,rw,nodev,nonempty,allow_other,reconnect,uid=0,gid=0,max_read=65536,compression=yes,auto_cache,no_check_root,kernel_cache,workaround=rename,ssh_command="/usr/bin/ssh -F /usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_config" :sshfs\#root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\:/ with that^, cd /mnt/sshfs/example works exactly as expected -- on all _except_ these new Fedora installs here, cd /mnt/sshfs/example returns ls: cannot access 'sshfs/example/': No such file or directory simply removing 'nonemmpty' - example -fstype=fuse,rw,nodev,nonempty,allow_other,... + example -fstype=fuse,rw,nodev,allow_other,... cures the problem. is 'nonempty' still valid usage with autofs sshfs mounts? is additional/difference config req'd on Fedora, or perhaps more recent autofs?
