I work on a mounted directory to a cluster through sshfs. However, sometimes my connection fails for a second and the mounting stops working. The problem is that I can not umount to be able to restart the connection.

The temporal solution I am using is reseting the whole computer, which is pretty unconvenient. I found a solution in Superuser but the answers are not completely explained and I am not sure on how to apply the solution and I can not ask for clarification as I lack reputation points.

I'd appreciate a well commented solution for an unexperienced user. Thanks a lot.

EDIT: In the comments @Jaromanda X suggested doing killall -9 sshfs. This stops all the mountings but they are still displayed in the Files explorer and I can not mount again.

  • which of those 3 commands doesn't work for you? Commented May 19, 2023 at 7:04
  • The problem is umount, it doesn't work so I can not restart the mounting Commented May 19, 2023 at 7:05
  • oh, so even after you killall -9 sshfs you can't umount? Commented May 19, 2023 at 7:06
  • no, I didn't dare to try killall -9 because I couldn't find what is the -9 doing Commented May 19, 2023 at 7:07
  • oh, that just kills all sshfs processes - nothing sinister - -9 is the signal to send (it's actually 9 ... but never mind that) Commented May 19, 2023 at 7:08
