Why don't you use the gentoo-sources kernel ebuild? It has some special patches for Gentoo userland... Tho I don't see any that may have directly to do with your problem... But maybe you want to check if it happens there, too. They have at least 4.11.1 available by now. Myself, I'm using ck-sources 4.11.1. > What is happening here?

Since this is a fuse filesystem, check dmesg if there are any signals regarding the fuse daemon: Maybe it just crashed. It doesn't really unmount since you still see the mount point listed. Compare the running fuse related processes before and after the issue. -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred.
