One expected oddity of sshfs is that if users and groups don't match, the names displayed by "ls -l" will be nonsense. Another oddity is that inodes are assigned as files are encountered. The SFTP protocol doesn't provide the inode number, so sshfs invents them as needed. Thus, each time a remote directory is mounted, inode numbers depend on the order that files are used. Hard links in the remote directory can't be respected. "du" doesn't give correct results. If I think of it as a more convenient sftp then it's fine.
Given that one can create/edit remote files and use them without downloading them (one can even watch movies from an sshfs-mounted fs), I think it's rather more than that. It's much closer to nfs than to sftp. Andras
