+Why am I getting 'Operation not permitted' errors when backing up on sshfs?
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+By default, ``sshfs`` is not entirely POSIX-compliant when renaming files due to

+to make it behave correctly::
+
+    sshfs -o workaround=rename user@host:dir /mnt/dir
