Public bug reported:
I use these in my rtorrent.rc:
schedule =
watch_directory_1,10,10,"load_start=/home/foo/bar/*.torrent,d.set_custom1=/home/rtorrent_user/ready"
system.method.set_key
=event.download.finished,move_complete,"d.set_directory=$d.get_custom1=
;execute=mv,-u,$d.get_base_path=,$d.get_custom1="
If the owner of the rtorrent process has execute but no read access to
directory /home/foo, rtorrent fails to poll the .torrent files in
directory /home/foo/bar even though it would have all rights to that
directory and its contents.
Just to clarify the situation:
$ ls -ld /home
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Oct 17 08:55 /home
$ ls -ld /home/foo
drwx--x--x 7 root root 4096 Sep 7 18:37 /home/foo
$ ls -ld /home/foo/bar
drwxr-xr-x 6 rtorrent_user rtorrent_user 4096 Oct 24 17:16 /home/foo/bar
$ ls -l /home/foo/bar/test.torrent
-rw-r--r-- 1 rtorrent_user rtorrent_user 0 Nov 12 21:23
/home/foo/bar/test.torrent
Looking at the strace of rtorrent, it seems to try to read /home, then
/home/foo and then it stops since it has no read access there.
Simple workaround that works:
ln -s /home/foo/bar /home/rtorrent_user/bar
and then change the rtorrent.rc to poll that directory.
