[Trilug-ontopic] raspberry pi - mounting a sshfs drive at startup

[Greg Brown]

I figured out a way around my issue of mounting the drive at bootup and
that was to mount the drive when motion starts and unmounting the drive
when it stops.  I wrote a fairly simple script that looks like this and is
called connect.sh in /home/pi:

#!/bin/bash

/bin/echo password | /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/sshfs
myuser at 192.168.16.2:/Users/myuser/motion/blue
/mount -o allow_other -o password_stdin

Once that was created I edited /etc/init.d/motion to run the script when
motion starts and unmount when motion ends.  Seems simple enough and it
works.
