title: Mounting sshfs on unreliable connection
body: <p>I mount remote filesystem with sshfs. If the ssh connection times out it can cause other applications to hang (e.g. vim session with only local file open). It takes ~10 minutes for the system to recover. This happens even if I mount the remote filesystem read-only. Why? Is there a way to do sshfs mount so that it will not cause other applications to hang when using unreliable connection (e.g., wifi)? I don't need something robust, I just need to be able to view files on remote computer, can be read-only.</p>
  
  <p>I use lubuntu 12.10. </p>
