[SOVLED] SFTP have to recreate shares after reboot

Hi everyone,

I have encountered a problem with the sftp plugin. I use zfs with encryption. The pool gets mounted after the boot by using a script. This works fine with my configuration of services. Only the sftp-plugin makes some trouble.

I have to recreate the sftp shares (ServicesàSTFPàShares) after each reboot or I just get an empty folder after login using sftp. I’m not sure if the problem is related to my encryption or if it is completely unrelated. Does anybody have an idea how to fix the problem?

I'm completely aware that my configuration is somehow “special” and that the sftp plugin is fine.

Thank you for providing your help, your solution works perfectly. I integrated it into my mount script and know everything works.

I can share the script but I'm 100% sure, that it is complete code garbage. It works fine for me. But feel free the change everything. I run the script with a “Scheduled Tasks” @reboot. (OMVàSYSTEMàScheduled Tasks)

#!/bin/bash
#we have to wait a few seconds (maybe network related)
sleep 10

#I get the zfskey from another server that is encrypted by itself and hidden in real life. If somebody disconnects it from power the file with the key is encrypted (I know it would be better to use Certificate-Based Authentication)
zfskey=`sshpass -p "PASSWORT_FOR_SSH" ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no username@HOST "cat /PATH/TO/KEYFILE/zfs.key"

echo "$zfskey" | zfs load-key pool/FILESYSTEM

zfs mount -a

sleep 10

#remount the sftp shares that are located on the encrypted volume
grep '/sftp.*bind' /etc/fstab | awk '{print $2}' | while read -r mount; do sudo umount "$mount" && sudo mount "$mount"; done

exit 0
