It doesn't show any ACL or SELinux indication in its permissions string, like "dr-xr-x---+" or "dr-xr-x---." And the permissions are the same as 'stat' has returned, according to your debug buffer: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 08:06:14.997750 tramp-send-command (6) # tramp_stat_file_attributes /asap3/petra3/gpfs/p11/2024/data/11019260/ 2>/dev/null; echo tramp_exit_status $? 08:06:15.041234 tramp-wait-for-regexp (6) # (("‘/asap3/petra3/gpfs/p11/2024/data/11019260/’") 6 ("fsdata" . 26666) ("fsdata" . 6666) 1718366406 1717758044 1717758044 4096 "dr-xr-x---" t 11510012908 -1) tramp_exit_status 0 ///e9cd6126f97f56eae6b23d28b13a86f7#$ --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- That's what Tramp confuses. > And mount | grep asap3 returns: > > core1 on /asap3 type gpfs (rw,relatime) Well, I guess gpfs is a non-standard file system type, isn't it? Wikipedia tells me, it is "General Parallel File System, brand name IBM Storage Scale and previously IBM Spectrum Scale". Aha. 'stat' doesn't return proper information in this case. However, 'test' does: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 08:06:10.158264 tramp-send-command (6) # test -r /asap3/petra3/gpfs/p11/2024/data/11019260/ 2>/dev/null; echo tramp_exit_status $? 08:06:10.206211 tramp-wait-for-regexp (6) # tramp_exit_status 0 ///e9cd6126f97f56eae6b23d28b13a86f7#$ --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Exit code 0 means, that the directory is readable. > Hope that helps. Yep. I've pushed a fix to the Tramp repository, which should handle this case. Do you have a chance to install Tramp from git, and test it? You don't need the defalias anymore. Instead, set the new user option tramp-use-file-attributes to nil. > Cheers > Philipp Best regards, Michael.
