The bug is that doing a stat on .gvfs as root causes an error, which upsets rsync et al.
When .gvfs was in your home dir, that means you would have problems backing up your homedir: rsync would fail when it got the stat error. That bug is not fixed, but .gvfs has now been moved to /run, which is a separate filesystem, backed by tmpfs (i.e. virtual memory) which you would not normally be backing up. So, the bug is still there, but you're now much less likely to find it causing you a problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225361 Title: .gvfs can't be stat'd by root causing backup tools to fail To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/225361/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
