Hello, Since upgrading to 3.2.4 samba has been breaking when it lists FUSE mounted directorys for example i have a directory for the fuse filesystem /down/.cache/ (this is where the fuse filesystem stores data) then i mount that to /down/data/ now this is where the problem starts when samba is first started the directory shows up fine and i can even using it for awhile, then out of the blue samba makes mounted the directory dissapear any programs that were using the directory crash and it becomes impossible to re-access the directory (unless i restart samba, but then it happens again after awhile), i know this is a bug in the recent samba versions since i can still access the directorys fine on the local machine, and restarting samba makes the dir re-appear, also downgrading to an older samba version 3.2.3 or 3.3.0pre1 fixes the problem. the fuse filesystems i am using are encfs 1.5.0, but this problem also happens on other fuse filesystems such as compfused, im sure it could happen on others also i asked in #samba-technical but they told me to make a bug report. hopefully someone can fix this. steps to reproduce make fuse filesystem such as encfs (maybe even other fuse filesystems like compfused..etc) use it for awhile and samba should break after some time, it should be easy to track down since it was a recent change that happened in the samba code.
Attach a debug level 10 log of this failing please. Jeremy.

Created attachment 3662 [details] level10 log of samba.XPPRO here is the log, the real log was around 200 megs, so i just cut the last 10 megs around where the error happened and zipped it, 20 20 20 20 binary data is just a dummy file i was creating on the fuse file system the problem (fuse) dirs i was working with are /down/Storage/Programs/Backup and /down/fuse/data
Jeremy, are there any news on this one?
(In reply to comment #4) > Jeremy, are there any news on this one? i found a fix for this, on the fuse file system you need to mount with the option allow_other i guess samba drops permissions after awhile
Ah, this makes sense. Samba only stays as the logged in user credentials whilst there is activity going on, periodically Samba will revert back to root. Looks like the FUSE mount option "allow_other" is required for access via Samba. We might want to make a tech note of this somewhere. Jeremy.
