The difference is that renaming to an existing file or directory will fail instead of atomically replacing the old file. The -o workaround=rename option will try to emulate POSIX rename semantics, but it cannot guarantee atomicity. In most of the cases this doesn't matter, and things will work fine with this option. \---- The '-o workaround=rename' option to sshfs solves it for me. It's a shame that OpenSSH isn't posix compatible. Hope this will help someone with the same problem. Cheers, Johannes
