Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gvfs
gvfs and gvfs-fuse 0.2.5-0ubuntu2
Ubuntu 8.04.1
Linux 2.6.24-19-generic
rsync 2.6.9-6ubuntu2
I maintain backups using dirvish, which writes sequential images using
rsync. Dirvish is set up to back up parts of my root partition and my
home partition to a third partition. The rsync command run by dirvish
(to back up my home partition) is:
rsync -vrltH --delete -pgo --stats -D --numeric-ids -x \
--exclude-from=/snapshot/satyr-home/20080731-home/exclude \
--link-dest=/snapshot/satyr-home/20080730-home/tree /home/ \
/snapshot/satyr-home/20080731-home/tree
Upon normal login to a GNOME desktop, $HOME/.gvfs has the following
permissions:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -ld .gvfs
dr-x------ 2 jorge jorge 0 2008-08-01 18:37 .gvfs
When dirvish attempts to back up my home partition with ~/.gvfs in the
preceding condition, it fails with the following rsync error:
rsync: readlink "/home/jorge/.gvfs" failed: Permission denied (13)
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977)
[sender=2.6.9]
A similar rsync command to back up my root partition terminates
successfully.
In order to run rsync on my home partition, I source a script from
~/.profile that includes the following:
/bin/fusermount -zu $HOME/.gvfs
/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-fuse-daemon $HOME/.gvfs
That gives me a directory with the following permissions:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -ld .gvfs
drwx------ 2 jorge jorge 4096 2008-07-26 22:11 .gvfs
With ~/.gvfs so constituted, rsync successfully backs up my /home
partition, and dirvish terminates with 0.
I've had this problem over the last three upgrades to gvfs and its
cousins. I'm not experiencing any other problems related to .gvfs, but
this one seems relatively serious to me.
I apologize if this is a duplicate report.
Thanks for looking into it.
