Discovered that you can replace sshfs with rclone. And the project appear to be way more active : https://github.com/rclone/rclone Edit: cf: https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/

rclone looks promising, but last time I tried it, it was very slow compared with sshfs.

Interesting, I alaways assumed sshfs was part of OpenSSH, learn something new every day.

Also, looks like sshfs used in Slackware is abandoned.

A quote from the link, I wonder if this project will be the 'one':

>If you would like to take over this project, you are welcome to do so. Please fork it and develop the fork for a while. Once there has been 6 months of reasonable activity, please contact Nikolaus@rath.org and I'll be happy to give you ownership of this repository or replace with a pointer to the fork.

I also wonder if it was abandoned due to the RHEL re-orgs like what happened to bluetooth.

Interesting. I haven't tried a speed comparison but I know we sped up the sftp backend recently.

Unfortunately, this fork does not look very vivid. Last commit in March, almost not activity in terms of PRs and issues. I would not bet on it.

What sort of activity level are you expecting from a stable project?

People have a hard time orienting if coming from js, where a 'stable' project means refactoring the entire code base to keep up with the dependencies refactoring their apis every 2 months.

It does seem like a good fit for the maintainers of openssh. I too had thought it was key linux ssh infrastructure.
