SSHFS from ext3 to NTFS woes

This is a follow-up to http://blog.alijnabavi.info/2008/07/difficult-experience-trying-to-create.html.

I thought I eliminated all of my problems yet there remained more problems: bytes of some of the files were zeroed out. It took me a while to figure this out, unfortunately. Finally, though, here is the config that seems to work (in my .bash_profile):

echo 'me_password' | sshfs me_username@www.me.domain.com: ~/mnt/www.me.domain.com -o password_stdin -o reconnect -o allow_root -o workaround=all -o ro -o umask=222 -o use_ino


Some of that is probably unnecessary and uninterested, but what solved my problem was the "-o use_ino".

I didn't want to blindly plug something in without understanding what it was doing . . . HOWEVER :-) I am not ready to learn about use_ino apparently because the results page that Google showed to me when I searched for it looked entirely unappealing, especially at 00:35 when I have to get up at 06:00. I'm just happy that my files are intact.
