[solved] netfs/sshfs failing on boot

Question

ok I seem to have a very weird problem and I can not for the life of me figure out a solution.
I have ssh setup with rsa authentication, I am mounting the sshfs share in fstab according to the wiki.
[email protected]:torrents/ /mnt/desktop fuse defaults,users,port=22000,reconnect,allow_other 0 0
On boot netfs fails with the error
Connection reset by peer.
But if I let kde finish loading and start a terminal and type in
/etc/rc.d/netfs start
it mounts just fine. This is where I don't understand why it will not mount when booting. Because I can not replicate the error once the machine is fully booted. I even tried the sleep 20 trick in netfs.
my daemon array looks like this.
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng acpid cpufreq crond hal !net-profiles net-auto-wireless rpcbind nfs-common oss fam sshd ntpd !avahi-daemon netfs)
Any idea is worth a shot so please amuse me
Solution: Delete the /root/.ssh/known_hosts file and then re-authenticate the host machine for root user locally. My known_hosts had two entries and the first entry was not available on the network. I assume this is the reason why netfs was failing. The rsa key of the only working host was the exact same before and after in the known_hosts file.

Answer 1

After booting "swapon -s" give me:
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sda3 partition 8388604 0 -1
So I assume that the swap partition is actually mounted and activated. However, resuming from hibernation always results in output which says "clearing orphan nodes." I know it has something to do with the swap because I was able to get resume to work by activating swap after I manually mounted swap after booting. I can't remember the exact process I used, whether it be through systemctl or swapon. I will see if I can get figure it out again.
