[Bug 225361] Re: Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted
Hi all,
This is a Hardy updated/upgraded machine. I don't have anything of samba. The
only thing I have is ntfs3-g driver which uses fuse, I think that's why I have
.gvfs
$ ls -ld .gvfs
dr-x-- 2 shirish shirish 0 2008-10-23 21:08 .gvfs
Ralph, this is what it shows on my system (using the logged in user)
ls -ld /home/$u{,/.gvfs}
ls: cannot access /home//.gvfs: No such file or directory
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-10-20 00:15 /home/
df /home/$u/.gvfs
df: `/home//.gvfs': No such file or directory
df: no file systems processed
id $u gives
uid=1000(shirish) gid=1000(shirish)
groups=4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),107(fuse),109(lpadmin),115(admin),117(pulse-access),118(pulse-rt),121(netdev),1000(shirish)
Anything worthwhile therein?

[Bug 225361] Re: Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted
That (user others than the one who mounted the fs can't access it, including root) is not completely true. I have two systems (not connected to eachother), both running Ubuntu 8.04. On one of them I have one user, created during install, and member of sudoers. On this system I use a script that uses sudo rsync to create backups. I never get errors. On the other system I have three users, let's call them A, B and C. A was created during install, and is member of sudoers (and as such is comparable to the only user on the first system). Here I am using the same backup script, and here I always get permission denied errors accessing /home/A/.gvfs. I do NOT get errors when the script tries to access /home/B/.gvfs or /home/C/.gvfs! In fact, user A can do a sudo -i, and then cd to /home/B/.gvfs, but not cd to his own /home/A/.gvfs. So it looks like there IS a bug somewhere, and it would be nice to see it fixed. -- Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225361 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is the registrant for gvfs. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
Re: [Bug 225361] Re: Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted
In my opinion, this doesn't reall give enough information to confirm
that the behaviour isn't down to user error. For example, on the second
machine the cut-and-pasted output of
for u in A B C; do ls -ld /home/$u{,/.gvfs}; df /home/$u/.gvfs; id
$u; done
would be useful.

upstream closed the bug as not a gvfs one This is all unfortunate, but its a decision that has been taken by the fuse people at the kernel level (user others than the one who mounted the fs can't access it, including root) and there is nothing we can do about it. ** Changed in: gvfs (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225361 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is the registrant for gvfs. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 225361] Re: Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted
Interesting. There's a couple of differences in the .gvfs inode between the two of us. Your perms are 0700, mine are 0500. Your access time is today but your modify and change aren't, all three of mine are the same value. Do you have anything mounted on .gvfs, if not, perhaps it's just a normal directory now in your system?

Re: [Bug 225361] Re: Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted
what about --exclude=~/.gvfs ? I don't think most shells will expand the tilde when it's not at the start of a word like that. $ echo --exclude=~/foo --exclude=~/foo $ The problem here isn't that the issue can't be worked around, typically adding an --exclude or several as Chris Hines points out, but that it shouldn't be neccessary; the basic Unix premise that root can stat the inode has been broken. I assume that FUSE's allow_users and allow_root options aren't being used because they'd allow a plain user to DoS root. However, isn't a plain user already allowed to plug in a USB flash drive with a filesystem on it and have the system mount that? Do all filesystems rigorously detect hierarchy loops, etc., caused by a malicious user tweaking the filesystem's structures manually before the system kindly mounting it for them; something normally only root could do? -- Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225361 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is the registrant for gvfs. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 225361] Re: Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted
I'd argue that, based on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance, this bug's Importance should be Medium. As described in the duplicate I raised, things like automatically checking the success of a daily tar(1) now fails because it always exits with a non-zero status instead of only rarely: For ~/.gvfs to not follow normal Unix semantics is a major pain. As root, one can normally tar up a user's home directory, perhaps as part of a daily backup regime, without problems. That's the point of running it as root. Since the introduction of ~/.gvfs: $ sudo tar cf /dev/null .gvfs .bash_profile tar: .gvfs: Cannot stat: Permission denied tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors $ echo $? 2 $ So checking the exit status of tar for any backups problems now fails. Every day. I'd argue tar is pretty core and it's having a medium or severe impact, as outlined under Medium. -- Superuser cannot access ~/.gvfs folder when mounted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225361 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is the registrant for gvfs. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
