FUSE mountpoints no longer accessible after recent upgrade

Hi,

I can no longer open/copy/delete files using FUSE mountpoints. I can browse the hierarchy (e.g. with Thunar), but not access the files themselves. The fact is that no mountpoint is created in

/run/user/XXX/gvfs

anymore, which explains why applications cannot open files.
It's really strange and seems too big to be a bug, but I could reproduce it with two different machines.

On the first one I could fix this issue by downgrading the kernel (to LTS, for other reasons, but I guess 4.1 should be enough). I didn't try anything for the moment on the second one.

Is that a feature? Did I miss something?


PS: I read somewhere that a "fuse" group was needed to allow users to mount filesystems. I never had one and it was working fine so far, but I created it just in case, no luck.

OK so it seems that simply restarting the FUSE daemon with

killall gvfsd-fuse && /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-fuse /run/user/$(id -u)/gvfs -f -o big_writes

solves the problem. But you need to run this command after each login. Hope it will get fixed soon.
