It's possible that the dist upgrade overwrote my smb.conf (not sure actually) but I was never made aware of the fact that this would cause me to loose all my SMB shares. Maybe a warning text should be added so that users know about this.
I will use your workaround for the second problem.
How can we change the default behavior in order to prevent other users from running into this problem? I think the added security flag is a very good thing that should stay but I still think that this bug has to be fixed somehow. On Windows, the UI interaction workflow is very smooth for the corresponding scenario and I never run into problems where I have to worry about the file system type of the partition on which I want to share files.
For example, when I plugin in my NTFS USB harddrive would it be possible to mount my files so that I am the owner of my own files by default?
Thank you Patrice
