I may have messed things up… I had a lot of docker config and data stored in /home/skynet I then ran a sshfs command and it disappeared. I was trying to send the contents of /home/skynet (server) to /home/shady/skynet (desktop). This was in order to be able to edit the files on the server on the desktop via VSCodium.
I’d love recommendations on how to do this, but first how do I get my files back???
Here is what I did
skynet@skynet:~/docker/keycloak$ sudo sshfs -o allow_other,default_permissions [email protected]:/home/shady/skynet /home/skynet
[email protected]'s password:
skynet@skynet:~/docker/keycloak$ cd
skynet@skynet:~$ ks
-bash: ks: command not found
skynet@skynet:~$ ls
skynet@skynet:~$ ls -a

sudo sshfs -o allow_other,default_permissions shady@192.168.50.16:/home/shady/skynet /home/skynetYou mounted your desktop files on top of the server files.
fusermount -u /home/shady/skynetthis should be
fusermount -u /home/skynetsome sources online say that rebooting will revert it…do I risk it?
if rebooting is and option, it will release the mounts. And should be safe because mounting on top of an existing path doesn’t really break anything. the original files still exist, but are just hidden because they are under the new mount. Once the mount is released, everything should be as it was.
skynet@skynet:/home$ fusermount -u /home/skynet fusermount: entry for /home/skynet not found in /etc/mtabcan you see the the mount using

mountprints a lot, but at the bottom it has:shady@192.168.50.16:/home/shady/skynet on /home/skynet type fuse.sshfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other)umount /home/skynetshould release it.
umount: /home/skynet: target is busy.umount -f /home/skynetYou can force it.
should I use
-fluh…didn’t work
skynet@skynet:~$ sudo umount -f /home/skynet umount: /home/skynet: target is busy.you most likely have a terminal open that is currently in that path.
