Hello,

Partitions mounted through lklfuse have strange issues, which are clearly related:

When browsing them on the command line, autocompletion doesn't work, except the first time I use it. Files and directories are shown with ls and can be accessed by typing their full name, but the tab key is ineffective. Starting a new shell makes autocompletion work again once and then it fails like before.

When browsing them in a file manager (tested with PCManFM-Qt and Thunar), it's far worse: directories can be opened, but when going back to the parent directory, everything has disappeared and I'm presented with an empty directory. Refreshing the view has no effect and I have to restart the file manager or unmount and remount the partition to get the content displayed again. Just pressing F5 in any directory that itself contains directories also makes everything disappear (but not if the content is only files).

This is broken with at least ext2, ext3, ext4 and Btrfs. Tested today with ext2/3/4 on 13.1-STABLE and I remember having similar issues two years ago with Btrfs on 12.2-RELEASE.

I mount partitions with default options, for example with
$ lklfuse -o type=ext4 /device /mountpoint

Mounting as user or as root doesn't make a difference.
