Package: git-annex Version: 3.20130114 Severity: wishlist Thanks for resolving the git annex get --from read-only media case. I ran into a similar issue today. git annex fsck also has problems with read-only media. From the description I would assume that it would work on a read-only filesystem (unless using the incremental version), because the command is to warn about inconsistencies. However an actual run fails for a reason that seems avoidable to the uninitiated:
$ git annex fsck somefile fsck somefile git-annex /path/to/repository/.git/annex/journal.lck: openFd: permission denied (Read-only file system) failed $ When checking multiple files they fail individually with the same message. Having a single failure for the journal.lck seems like an improvement here. Feel free to mark this issue as wontfix if there is no easy fix. Also explaining the particular data structures that need to be updated during a non-incremental fsck would imo count as a fix. Thanks for the great tool and the excellent support Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
