For those who used setup_sshfs_alias to allow one-step sshfs mounting of graham onto the CBS server, there is a new fix to make the mounting more reliable.
Option 1. Re-run setup_sshfs_alias. It was updated today (2021/09/21) to include the fix.
Option 2. Edit your ~/.bashrc file to replace gra-dtn1 with graham in the entry starting alias graham='sshfs -o...
Hello,
Now that the CBS server has been updated, I am doing some things again for the first time. For example, trying to mount graham (compute Canada) locally. I was able to log into graham successfully, so that part works. I re-ran setup_sshfs_alias and that seemed to work, but when I try to mount graham by typing “graham,” I get this message: sshfs: bad mount point .
Please advise. Is there another step I need to do? Thanks.
Hi. Can you create an empty folder in you home directory called “graham” and try again please?
Thanks for the suggestion. I added an empty folder called ‘graham’, and now when I try to mount it I get prompts for my password to compute canada rather than a bad mount point message. However, after I do the two-factor login, it seems to just hang. Nothing happens.
Because the DUO multi factor thing we changed the command and now you will have to keep that terminal session open in the background to properly work.
Can you please check if the mount is fine without closing/interrupt that terminal?
Yes, that worked! Thanks.
