New submission from Kuang-che Wu <k...@csie.org>: "flags" is only supported on certain OS. FreeBSD is one of them. FreeBSD itself support chflags but not all of its file systems do.
On FreeBSD, copystat() will fail on zfs. The exception is OSError and errno is EOPNOTSUPP. According to manpage chflags(2), the errno means "The underlying file system does not support file flags" If the file system doesn't support flags, we should not call os.chflags() at first or should not raise exception. In my patch, I just ignore EOPNOTSUPP exception. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: copystat.diff keywords: patch messages: 96427 nosy: kcwu severity: normal status: open title: shutil.copystat may fail EOPNOTSUPP type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15564/copystat.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7512> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
