Unable to view files in mounted directory using blobfuse2

[Edil-Camil]

Despite following the correct steps for mounting an Azure Blob Storage container using blobfuse2, we are unable to see any files or directories in the mounted folder. The mount command completes without errors, and the directory is successfully mounted, but it remains empty.

Steps to Reproduce:

Install blobfuse2 version 2.4.0 on Ubuntu 24.04.
Run blobfuse2 mount /home/user/drive --config-file=/home/user/.blobfuse2/config.yaml --allow-other.
Navigate to /home/user/drive and attempt to view files using ls.
Observe that no files or folders are displayed, even though the Azure Blob container contains files.

Expected Behavior:

The mounted directory should show the contents (files and folders) from the Azure Blob Storage container.

Actual Behavior:

The directory is empty, even though the mount process was completed successfully and there were no apparent errors during mounting.

Environment:

OS: Ubuntu 24.04
blobfuse2 version: 2.4.0
Azure Blob Storage account
Authentication Mode: Managed Identity (MSI)

###Additional Information:

The mount process completes without any errors.
Logs show that the mount is initialised, and there are no errors related to the process.
Permissions for the Managed Identity are correctly set with the Storage Blob Data Contributor role.
The config.yaml file is correctly configured with allow-other: true and correct storage account/container details.

###Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken:

Verified that the container contains files via Azure CLI.
Ensured the correct permissions for the Managed Identity are set.
Unmounted and remounted the filesystem multiple times.

Kindly enable debug logs and share the log file so that we can investigate. After mounting your files might not be visible immediately as there is a cool down period to control the cost to customer. After 10 seconds or so you can try again and validate. If you want immediate results, then there is a knob to reduce this period to 0 as well.
