[fuse-devel] Problem with fuse on 2.6.25 kernel

[Alex D. <oa...@ya...>]

Greetings.

I was happily using encfs for quite some time now and never had any problems.
However, after upgrading recently to 2.6.25 it stopped working, and I assume,
the problem is fuse specific. I'm using fuse 7.2.3, encfs 1.4.2 and I checked
for all the obvious permission problems.

Upon trying to mount encfs filesystem, encfs becomes stuck. When doing the
mount as unprivileged user, strace shows that "mount" fails with -EPERM, after
which encfs gets stuck in the recvmsg (I presume, it never bothers to check the
actual mount return value).

Even more interesting thing happens when I try doing same as root. fusermount
gets stuck in the actual mount syscall. When I kill it with -9, target
directory suddenly gets mounted (with nothing - it just becomes inaccessible
until I call umount twice on it).

Did anybody saw something similar?
