Clarification, by adding "usershare owner only = False" I'm now able to
create new shares again even on my NTFS external harddrive. Of course
all my original shares I had on this disk are permanently deleted by the
upgrade process.

I understand the security implication and agree that the proper fix is
not to add "usershare owner only = False" to smb.conf by default.
Ideally, files on NTFS USB external hard drives should be mounted as
owned by my user account instead of root:root (this would enable me to
create network shares for folders on external USB harddrives with NTFS
without resorting to sub-par security).

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
