remount read write

alaios · 05-18-2011, 01:17 AM

Dear all,
I am mounting one network partition using sshfs.
My /etc/fstab line is like that:

sshfs#user@myserver:/storage/folder /home/user/Documents/test fuse comment=sshfs,ro,exec,uid=1215,allow_other,reconnect,transform_symlinks,BatchMode=yes,nonempty,noaut o 0 0

This works great.
I want sometimes to be able to mount this hard disk as read-write. To write few files and then return to read only state.

So after this partition is mounted
How I can remount it with write flag and then how I can return it back to read state?

Regards
Alex

Hi,

You can use:

Code:

mount -o remount,rw /home/user/Documents/test

Oops, looks like fuse/sshfs does not support the remount option like other filesystems.
So I guess you have to create a script to unmount the fuse fs, remount it rw so you can do your stuff.

Code:

fusermount -u /home/user/Documents/test
mount /home/user/Documents/test -o rw

When done you can umount it again and mount it from /etc/fstab as usual

Code:

fusermount -u /home/user/Documents/test
mount /home/user/Documents/test
