    You can drop sshf mounts into /etc/fstab and have it do all of the
usual automounting type stuff. I did this with my jailbroken iphone.
The Ubuntu mount manager even prompts you for a password when you mount
the sshfs disk. If you use key based logins, you could probably make it
look like any other normal mountpoint. Not that I would bother for this
situation...
