As of 18.04 and still as at 19.10, this is all over the place. Errors
left, right and centre.

nautilus gives "Software caused connection abort" copying a file (but
pressing F5 to refresh shows that the copy seemingly worked).

gedit fails intermittently with the same error (possibly only on larger
files, 32KB? not that 32KB is large).

cp gives the error as reported initially above.

I was copying using cp from one gio mount (smb) to another (sftp). Even
gio copy was not a workaround. The only viable workaround that I found
was to gio copy from the smb location to ~ and then copy from ~ to the
sftp location. I was lucky that the file was not very big.

(LibreOffice has its own problems with this setup.)

Virtualisation of file systems is good functionality and I use it a lot
but from 18.04 until now, taking the system as a whole, it has been
badly broken.

Title:
  Cannot copy file using 'cp' on a gvfs mount

Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 18.04, I can't anymore copy a file using the 'cp' command on
  a gvfs smb mount.

  For example, If I try to copy the file test.odp on a SMB shared
  folder, like this:

  cp -v test.odp /run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-
  share:domain=XXXXX,server=xxxxx,share=xxx,user=xxxxx/<some folder>

  I get the following error:

  cp: cannot fstat '/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-
  share:domain=XXXXX,server=xxxxx,share=xxx,user=xxxxx/<some
  folder>/test.odp': Invalid argument

  A file 'test.odp' is created, but with size 0.

  I can delete any file on the shared folder using the 'rm' command.

  If I copy the file using the command 'gio copy', then it works as
  expected.

  This used to work in Ubuntu 16.04.

  Of course, I don't know if the problem is in the gvfs package or in
  some underlying component...

  System: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) 64-bit
  Kernel: 4.15.0-22-generic x86_64
  Package: gvfs 1.36.1-0ubuntu1
