Laszlo, I assume this is not the result you expected after updating
fuse3? In gvfs-fuse_1.57.2-2, the only references to FUSE_CAP are:
client/gvfsfusedaemon.c: fuse_set_feature_flag(conn, FUSE_CAP_ATOMIC_O_TRUNC);
client/gvfsfusedaemon.c: fuse_unset_feature_flag(conn, FUSE_CAP_ASYNC_READ);
which if I understand correctly is the style that is recommended by the
upstream developers of FUSE. I verified that this worked as intended with
libfuse3-4_3.17.1~rc1-3, but I can confirm the regression with 3.17.1-1.
If necessary we can revert to the old code in gvfs as a workaround:
conn->want |= FUSE_CAP_ATOMIC_O_TRUNC;
conn->want &= ~FUSE_CAP_ASYNC_READ;
but I'm aware that that's unlikely to be very future-proof, and I'd like
to avoid getting into a cycle of fuse3 and gvfs working around each
other!
Thanks,
