Description Tanktalus 2011-07-15 18:23:36 UTC

If I try to mount a filesystem that is, on the remote, a symlink, I get an input/output error.

This works with sshfs-2.2

e.g., on server: /symlink -> /home, and then I try mounting server:/symlink, this fails.

Have you tried mounting the filesystem with the follow_symlinks option enabled? It appears to work fine for me if that option is set.

Closing as works for me since the follow_symlinks option seems to work as expected.
