+SSHFS hangs
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In some cases, attempts to access the SSHFS mountpoint may freeze if
+no filesystem activity has occured for some time. This is typically
+caused by the SSH connection being dropped because of inactivity
+without SSHFS being informed about that. As a workaround, you can try
+to mount with ``-o ServerAliveInterval=15``. This will force the SSH
+connection to stay alive even if you have no activity.
