Debian – sshfs mount won’t start from /etc/rc.local

automountdebiansshfs

I have the following commands in /etc/rc.local

chmod 666 /dev/fuse  
chmod +x /usr/bin/fusermount  
/bin/su someuser -c "/usr/bin/sshfs someuser@someserver:/usr/local/storage /usr/local/storage_remote -o nonempty -o reconnect"

If I run them from command line, as root, they work.
If I reboot the server they won't run from /etc/rc.local.
I try to figure out what I do wrong but I don't have console access and I couldn't find any errors in /var/log related to sshfs.

I figured out what it missed

sudo addgroup root fuse
sudo addgroup someuser fuse

Also there was an error in /etc/rc.local that prevented the lines with sshfs to be executed.

You need to enable the options allow_other and/or user_allow_other in /etc/fuse.conf. Otherwise only the user who mounted the filesystem can use it. Once you've made the change, unmount and remount the filesystem.

Ssh – autofs can’t mount a remote dir with sshfs on the host with deprecated key algorithm

OK, I've figured it out. I tried to directly run:

sudo sshfs root@10.28.0.10:/root /tmp/10/ -o reconnect,allow_other,follow_symlinks,ssh_command='ssh HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-dss'

and it gave me an error:

read: Connection reset by peer

So, it didn't work. I started looking for a way to fix it and found out, that in order to do it, I have to configure 2 lines in: /etc/ssh/ssh_config

Host 10.28.0.10
    HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss

Then, I removed:

 -o HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-dss

from: /etc/ssh/sshpass.10.sh to make it like that:

#!/bin/bash

sshpass -f /etc/ssh/sshpass.10 ssh $*

Then, after restarting autofs service, it started working. My /mnt/10/root started displaying contents.
