Full Discussion: Alternative to sshfs?
Operating Systems Solaris Alternative to sshfs? Post 302509012 by cjcox on Tuesday 29th of March 2011 03:20:23 PM

There's not panacea solution here IMHO. And in fact, my guess is the same reason why NFS mounting is no longer a solution, would actually affect your ability to use sshfs long term for (maybe) the same reasons.

There are other types of remote filesystems... not sure if those are options or not (e.g. AFS, CIFS).

Another possibility would be a Linux proxy that they might allow to do the mount locally and then the remote uses sshfs through it?? But I still fear the issues that made doing the NFS mount not feasible.

The other alternative (as you kind of implied) is to rewrite... the rewrite would likely be portable enough to replace both views though, so no need to maintain two code bases (IMHO).

Forward looking, openSolaris FUSE work has been picked up again by Oracle and promised in Solaris... so possible that Solaris 11 has FUSE and thus sshfs as well.

MOUNT.NFS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      MOUNT.NFS(8)

NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options] DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality. mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality. remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be mounted. Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions. Under earlier Linux kernel versions, mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2. OPTIONS
-r Mount file system readonly. -v Be verbose. -V Print version. -w Mount file system read-write. -f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call. -n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making an entry. -s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail. -h Print help message. nfsoptions Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages. NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages. FILES
