Bug 269291 – net-fs/fusesmb isn't threadsafe and needs to be patched

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mike Cui 2009-05-10 18:32:01 UTC]

libsambaclient is not re-entrant, but fusesmb makes calls to it without proper locking.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mount fusesmb
2. Do a grep -r on a samba share

Actual Results:  
Pretty soon fusesmb will crash, and you app will fail with error message:

Transport endpoint is not connected

Expected Results:  
Not crash

See Debian bug report with patch.

Hi,

I ran into this problem today (don't know exactly why this late...).
However, the problem is annoying und must be handled. Either by patching the source or by mounting fusesmb using the -s option (as it is outlined on the previously linked debian bug-tracking thread).
Both ways work fine btw.

For people who want to emerge fusesmb using the patched sources I attach this ebuild.

Question: the bug has been open for some time... Is it likely to get a fixed fusesmb into portage ??

Cheers.
