Mounting sshfs as user works (with "user" option in fstab), however umount doesn't work as user and must be issued by root Il seems that the problem is known and is solved by creating the link ln -s mount.fuse mount.fuse.sshfs in /sbin (default location of mount.fuse) I think that sshfs-fuse should create this link automatically when installed through portage Fstab entry without the above link have the following sintax: sshfs#<user>@<remote server>:<remote dir> <sshfs dir> fuse defaults,noauto,user 0 0 Fstab entry with the above link accept the following sintax in addition to the usual one: <user>@<remote server>:<remote dir> <sshfs dir> fuse.sshfs defaults,noauto,user 0 0 With the last line in fstab umount works correctly as user Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount <sshfs dir> (as user) 2.umount <sshfs dir> (as user) 3. Actual Results: umount: <sshfs dir>: umount failed: Operation not permitted Expected Results: umount should work correctly when invoked as user instad of root
It appears that recent versions of sshfs create that symlink (to /usr/bin/sshfs) which allows user umounts to work for me.
