Package: sshfs
Version: 2.2-1
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice to have an option like NFS 'hard', which would
require 'reconnect' and basically causes all filesystem operations
to block until the connection to the remote is back. Right now, if
a connection is lost and cannot be re-established, there's an I/O error:

piper:~|master|mnt% ls -l
ls: cannot open directory .: Input/output error

In certain cases, it would be better if ls just didn't return until
the connection is back, or until it's interrupted.

Thanks,
