Bug #494140[0] is as follows:
Package: sshfs
Version: 2.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
There is a new 2.1 release, containing bugfixes. Among the fixes
are: *Fix bug in caching which could cause file corruption for
append mode writes. It's data loss bug, hence the grave severity of
the bug.
The new release also fixes the statvfs call, making for example df
work.
The changelog for 2.1[1] lists the following changes:
2008-07-11 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Released 2.1
2008-07-11 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Fix statvfs extension to match the current protocol in
opensshfs
* Check version numbers of extensions, so such changes wouldn't
cause stupid behavior
2008-06-24 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Add '-F' option to specify the ssh config file. Patch by Pat
Pascal.
2008-05-06 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Fix bug in caching which could cause file corruption for append
mode writes. Reported by Jose Alonso
2008-05-05 Miklos Szeredi <miklos@szeredi.hu>
* Fix compile on OS X. Original patch from Michael G Schwern
* Fix compile on Solaris. Reported by Jean-Jacques Sarton
This all appears fairly harmless, at least enough to warrant a freeze
unblocking of a potential sshfs 2.1 upload.
Cheers,
