I used sshfs example.com:/path/to/remote/directory foobar to successfully mount a remote directory at a mountpoint I created with mkdir foobar (I own the directory). But the mounting was done on a shared host which kills user processes under some conditions, so the sshfs process is now gone and ls -la grep foobar now tells me:
ls: cannot access 'foobar': Transport endpoint is not connectedd?????????? ? ? ? ? ? foobar/
Furthermore, the recommended unmounting procedure fusermount -u foobar does not work:
fusermount: failed to chdir to /path/to/remote/directory: Permission denied
I can't even remove the mountpoint with rm, getting the same "Transport endpoing is not connected" error. unlink foobar also gives me "unlink: cannot unlink 'foobar': Is a directory". Remounting with sshfs does not work either.
Am I out of options here, as far as unmounting goes? Where do I go from here?
Reset to default
