I've mounted a directory via sshfs:
sshfs <user>@<host>:/var/www <host>/
However, after a few hours, the "something" happens, and I can no longer use the mounted directory.  Symptoms are similar to when an nfsmounted server becomes unavailable: ls fails, cd fails, etc.
I've attempted
sshfs -o reconnect <user>@<host>:/var/www <host>/
but that never responded.
Does anyone know how I can either unmount the directory, and remount it, or force sshfs to reconnect to the server?
