Thank you for the very *friendly* reply! Yes, I've been trying this command:
sshfs-static [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/afs /afs - odefer_permissions,sshfs_debug,debug,volname=afs That doesn't seem to make a difference at all, which is why I asked my earlier question. Specifically, I want to work with a directory of files in AFS that was checked out of a Subversion repository. I want to add a file to the project: svn add foo.bar I get this error: svn: Can't move '.svn/tmp/entries' to '.svn/entries': Operation not permitted However, if I perform the same command on the remote host that is an AFS client, it works without problem. On my Mac, with AFS mounted via sshfs, I tried to move that file manually: mv .svn/tmp/entries .svn/entries And I received a similar error: mv: rename .svn/tmp/entries to .svn/entries: Operation not permitted However, if I copy the file to the destination and remove the original, it works: cp -p .svn/tmp/entries .svn/entries ; rm .svn/tmp/entries You have probably noticed that I am using the debug options as well. Amongst the output, I find these messages: unique: 0, opcode: RENAME (12), nodeid: 351, insize: 64 RENAME /umich.edu/path/to/project/.svn/tmp/entries -> /umich.edu/path/ to/project/.svn/entries [00579] RENAME [00578] STATUS 28bytes (6ms) [00579] STATUS 28bytes (6ms) [00580] RENAME [00580] STATUS 28bytes (2ms) [00581] RENAME [00581] STATUS 28bytes (1ms) [00582] RENAME [00582] STATUS 28bytes (3ms) unique: 0, error: -1 (Operation not permitted), outsize: 16 Not much indication of why the operation wasn't permitted. So I throw my request out to this group. If anybody has ideas about this, please let me know. I've also tried setting umask, uid, and gid options, but none of those seemed to make a difference. Interestingly, I didn't have a problem with this project when it was using CVS for version control. Since it switched to svn, I have these problems.
