Hi,

I noticed that when an LDAP user logs into owncloud a user "home"
directory is created in the data subdir. The folder name is the "LDAP
user name" (Active Directory's sAMAccountName in my case) just like for
the "local" admin user. However, if the LDAP user logs in and adds an
external mount point (SMB share) then a new "user dir" is created in
the data subdir.

I tried it (though not with SMB but WebDAV) but I got not a second
folder.

I haven't tried webdav, only smb.

This time, instead of the username an ID is used (eg.
DFA761B9-4B3C-4E35-9FA9-B84ECBCE53F2).

What are the contents of this folder?

/files_external/uploads/
(empty subdirs)

In my experience this is totally harmless, the users don't even know about this problem. It also seems to be quite safe to delete these empty dirs. But of course this is not right, and it is quite confusing to the admin. Especially, if there are also local users in addition to ones defined in LDAP. I've been seeing this for months now. In my case they look like this (the internal username attrib is set to uid for me in the expert section):
uid/files_external/uploads

I never had the time though to find out what exactly triggers the creation of these "ghost directories". I don't use smb mounts though, only local and external mounts of google and dropbox services.
