Bug Description
Hello.
I use GEncfsM on a Linux Mint PC that ought to operate on a LAN with a Windows server.
I use GEncfsM to store encrypted backups of my work files on the network on Windows shares (accessed by the file explorer Nemo with Samba).
So far, it had been working fine, but I upgraded Linux Mint from 17.3 to 18 recently and since then, it does not work any more. I suppose I GEncfsM has also been upgraded at the same time (it's now version 1.8.18~
Each time I try a write operation in the mounted cache, I have an error message saying the operation has failed. The details are only "error opening file '<name of the file>': operation not supported".
This error did not occur previously to the upgrade.
It happens with the already existing caches but also with newly created ones, as long as the encrypted folder is located on the Samba shares.
It does not happen if the encrypted cache is located on the computer's hard disk.
