** Description changed: Non-GIO programs truncate files when saving. + A bug in either FUSE or gvfs-fuse glue code has been discovered which + causes some applications to truncate files to 0 bytes on save. - I use Eclipse IDE (Zend Studio to be exact) for editing code on my development servers. + REGRESSION POTENTIAL: There is currently no patch for fuse, the upstream + gvfs developer has proposed a patch that deals with truncate at the gvfs + side. The patch has only been applied to Fedora 15, it hasn't yet been + backported to neither Fedora 13 nor Fedora 14 so it hasn't been tested + other than for it fixing the reported issue. - Because we have internal development servers, I connect to them via SSH and use the .gvfs folder in my home directory to access the files through Eclipse. - I.e: /home/s.rees/.gvfs/sftp for s.rees on internal.dev/var/www + I guess we should upload it to natty first for preliminary testing but + the data-loss is quite huge problem for people affected. - Before upgrading to 10.10 Maverick I was fine reading and writing the - files, but now any time it goes to save a file I get an empty file as a - result. Making it impossible to do any work... - - I don't know if this is a bug or a wacky feature (that can be - disabled?)... - - s.r...@ws-17hm42s:~$ lsb_release -rd - Description: Ubuntu 10.10 - Release: 10.10 - - s.r...@ws-17hm42s:~$ sudo apt-cache policy gvfs - gvfs: - Installed: 1.6.4-0ubuntu1 - Candidate: 1.6.4-0ubuntu1 - Version table: - *** 1.6.4-0ubuntu1 0 - 500 http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + TEST CASE: A write-access to any gvfs powered remote share is required, the following options assume you have mounted it through the Places->Connect to Server... dialog (or using an existing bookmark). + Create a file with some content, for example by doing: + $ echo "test" > test.file + then edit the file using nano, add some more text and save (^X, Y, [ENTER]), after that the file is empty. + Same actions with proposed update should result in a file that has entered text.
