Setup a gvfs mount (I used smb and sftp shares configured via nautilus). 2. Create a symlink to the fuse-mounted location e.g. cd ~/Desktop; ln -sf /run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=10.0.20.6,share=share1/symlinktest 3. Navigate with nautilus to the symlinked location, open a file available there with e.g. gedit or libreofficeand try to save it. Expected result: File is saved. Actual result: An enigmatic error message is displayed (Cannot handle "file:" locations in write mode - for gedit, or "General input/output error while accessing <path>" for libreoffice). The problems started with commit 548ba46c2ba51c4ec5b0dd8442b476f3a2a7000b fuse: Don't g_file_append_to unless O_APPEND is given. Reverting it makes the issue disappear. I have rebuild gvfs enabling debugging (#define DEBUG_ENABLED 1) and here is what I got in ~/vfs.debug: # accessing via symlink vfs_open: /smb-share:server=10.0.20.6,share=share1/grouptest/symlinktest/test open_common: flags=500002 vfs_open: -> Operation not supported # accessing via /run/user/(...) vfs_open: /smb-share:server=10.0.20.6,share=share1/grouptest/symlinktest/test open_common: flags=1100000 setup_input_stream: have stream setup_input_stream: doing read vfs_open: -> Success For reasons beyond my understanding the flags are different while accessing the file via the default gvfs-mountpoint causing the execusion to skip the modified section of client/gvfsdfusedaemon.c (returning -ENOTSUP). I am attaching the full vfs.debug created.
