Mounting a persistent file system using SSHFS

Mounting a persistent FUSE file system using SSHFS

The image is from my WinXP desktop - it shows Nautilus (the GNOME app) running on the Linux box displaying on a Windows XP desktop under Cygwin-X (X11). This was all initiated over a SSH connection established using PuTTY with X11 forwarding enabled.

What does this have to do with persistent file systems and SSHFS? It's what I was doing when this screenshot photo-op came along. More about that later.
