How to unbind/rebind paths over sshfs without disconnect/reconnecting the network

How to unbind/rebind paths over sshfs without disconnect/reconnecting the network?

I mounted a sshfs directory, then binded directories within that.
If I unbind the binded mount points and then try to rebind them, they fails to rebind.
However, if I disconnect the network, and reconnect, the rebinding will then again work.

Code:

# shorting down the script, here's what I'm doing...



# mount the main sshfs directory

sudo sshfs -p "$RPORT" -o follow_symlinks -o allow_other -o IdentityFile="$RSAKEY" -o reconnect "$RFSUSER@$url:/" "$MAINMOUNTPOINT"



# bind the subdirectory

sudo bindfs "$MAINMOUNTPOINT/media/$drive" "/media/$drive"



# unmount the subdirectory bind, etc...

sudo umount "/media/$drive"; sudo umount "$MAINMOUNTPOINT" # followed by the sshfs command above



# try to rebind it again... fails to rebind, no error message

sudo bindfs "$MAINMOUNTPOINT/media/$drive" "/media/$drive"

# disconnect then reconnect the network, and try again... command succeeds

i don't know about the bind/unbind bit, but back when i was still using sshfs (i long since switched to NFS), i had sth like this:

Code:

# mounting:

sshfs -C -o "$sshfs_options" "$location" "$mountdir"

# unmounting:

fusermount -u -z "$mountdir"
