Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: kernel modules Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 8 Private: No Submitted By: David Koudela (dkoudela) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Perforce versioning system fails when running sync command o Initial Comment: Perforce versioning system fails when running sync command on hgfs filesytem. The problem is that perforce client uses rename operation upon a temp file which has read-only attributes. The operation then fails with permission denied (see attached test application). The fix we have provided removes the read only attribute and retries the rename operation again (see attached source code and diff). The same code is already there (see function HgfsDelete) – probably it is a good idea to refactor the retry procedure. Could you please add this fix to the upstream of the VMware tools? Thanks a lot, David. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Steve (lousybrit) Date: 2013-05-06 10:58 Message: Hi David, I currently work on the HGFS file system, and just got notice of this from dtor. Thanks for looking into this, I will take a look at the modified file and run it through some checks and tests. I recently ran some perforce sync in my Ubuntu VM running on my Windows 7 host. I didn't see any issues of note, but I will retry and pay close attention. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Dmitry Torokhov (dtor) Date: 2013-03-15 09:51 Message: Thank you David, I'll forward this on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=3608126&group_id=204462 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
