Package: sshfs
Version: 2.10+repack-2
Severity: normal
Out of about 50 sshfs and fuse options accessible via sshfs command, (and some
more via ssh options), only few actually specify their default values.
Some of the defaults comes from the ssh default (which can be changed via user
or
system client config files), but a lot of the defaults is under control of
sshfs,
or can be infered by the software.
The problem is, that even running sshfs in debug mode, it is impossible to tell
which options are in effect in default configuration.
Examples:
-o reconnect reconnect to server
(it is off by default. change of default is considered upstream, one way or
another
default should be documented.)
-C equivalent to '-o compression=yes'
(it is on by default, because of how ssh behaves by default, I wish it was not
on
by default, but this is beyond the point. should be documented some way).
-p PORT equivalent to '-o port=PORT'
default is 22, obviously (can probably be overrided in ssh config, but it should
be documented).
-o cache_X_timeout=N sets timeout for {stat,dir,link} cache
no idea what is a default
-o [no_]splice_read use splice to read from the fuse device
no idea what is a default
-o big_writes enable larger than 4kB writes
no idea.
-o kernel_cache cache files in kernel
no idea.
-o transform_symlinks transform absolute symlinks to relative
-o follow_symlinks follow symlinks on the server
which one is default, or none of them?
and so one.
Best regards,
Witold
