Title:
nautilus does not preserve directory ownership when moving to another
partition
Status in Nautilus:
Confirmed
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: nautilus
If you use nautilus to move a directory to another volume, nautilus
does not preserve its ownership.
eg.
1. Run sudo nautilus so the nautilus user is root.
2. With this nautilus, cut and paste a directory owned by the normal
user 1000 (eg rocko) to another partition. In my case, I was copying
the folder from my home partition on an ext4 drive to an external USB
drive (also ext4).
3. Check the ownership of the directory on the other partition.
The expected result is that user 1000 still owns the directory, but
the actual result is that root owns it.
Files within the directory are still owned by user 1000. Also, if you
move it to the same partition (eg from /home/rocko to /home), the
directory is still owned by user 1000.
This is also a problem in Jaunty.
