I've found a nice workaround for this, at least for the case where root is trying to backup /home.
Before performing the backup, do: mount --bind /home /mnt/home-bind Then, backup /mnt/home-bind instead of /home. The bind mount exposes only things on the filesystem mounted at /home, so you get a full backup of that, without the FUSE/gvfs problem getting in the way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225361 Title: other users don't have access to .gvfs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/225361/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
