There's only one place Tramp calls chown locally. It is applied via `call-process'. This is not interruptable in Emacs; one has simply to wait until the corresponding process has finished. I have no idea what makes chown to hang. From Tramp's side, there's nothing I could do I fear. > There may be an error condition on the remote side (automounter, > firewall, ...), but shouldn't the client survive it? It shouldn't hurt chown. But maybe it tries to access a file which is mounted locally; this could hang indeed, when there is a stale NFS mount or alike. > Thanks, > Marc Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
