Setting up a Raspberry PI 2 B for a weather related project. Have an MLP3115A2 connected as well as a DS18B20 right now. If I run owfs with either --foreground or --debug, it discovers my DS18B20 and I can read it as expected from the fuse mount.
However, if I leave off --foreground or --debug I can see owfs in the process list, but the mount hangs up until some timeout. At which point I see the bus.0, bus.1, etc. However, I do not see the top level 28.XXXXX sensor, and any directory actions, again, are slow waiting for some timeout.
If I reenable the --foreground or --debug mode, it finds the device.

Compiled from source.

    To sort out the reason for this error, could you please run "owserver" on the actual hardware instead of owfs, and try to get the directory listing with "owdir"?
