Hi Sylvestre,
while playing around with sshfs, I noticed a peculiar behaviour. If I
mount it somewhere and run something like
find /mnt/fuse -type f -name '*.core'
on it, everything seems to work fine until the network connection is
interrupted. The system then hangs, with only the keyboard LEDs like the
caps lock indicator working (i.e. pressing caps lock turns the LED on
and off, but nothing else seems to work). The simplest way to reproduce
this is via something like the following:
sshfs user@somehost:/foo /mnt/fuse
while true; do find /mnt/fuse -type f; done &
while sleep 1; date; done
While that is running, the date is printed once every second. After
interrupting the network connection, for example by pulling the cable,
the date continues to get printed for a few second and then stops.
Is there a way to properly debug this? Are there "typical spots" in fuse
where adding one or two printfs() might yield further insight?
Thanks in advance,
Gregor Best
