After I said that archfs is magical over Samba, I am now struggling

The problem I believe is that fuse (upon which archfs depends) does
not normally allow users, other than the user who created the mount,
to access its filesystem. This can be overridden by mounting the
filesystem with the "-oallow_other" mount option, a/c to the fuse
FAQ (http://apps.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/fuse/index.php?title=FAQ#Why_don.27t_other_users_have_access_to_the_mounted_filesystem.3F
), but when I try to specify this on the archfs command line it is
rejected with 'Error: no such option; see man archfs' (which
incidentally does not exist).
You're right -- archfs does not pass options on to the underlying fuse
system. It really should.
Here's a quick fix for you:
In archfs.c, around line 27, change:
args[2] = "-d";
return fuse_main(2, args, &operations, NULL);
to:
args[2] = "-d";
args[3] = strdup("-oallow_other");
return fuse_main(3, args, &operations, NULL);
If that doesn't work, change the first argument of fuse_main from 3 to
4. (I'm not sure what argc is supposed to be there ...)
