Re the VirtualBox shared folders aspect of this problem. So there are two problems here, both stemming from gedit and Nautilus renaming open files as part of their overwrite process: -- the Samba filesystem doesn't support this properly -- the VirtualBox vboxsf filesystem doesn't support this properly #34813 only covers the Samba root cause. The vboxsf one is in the Debian bug (can't find an Ubuntu equivalent): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=594162 I've raised a VirtualBox bug to cover this issue: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/9203 So, ideally, we should have a separate Ubuntu bug for this other root cause (vboxsf doesn't support open file overwrite). What's the normal procedure for things like this? Does someone want me to create this bug (or an admin do so themselves)?? Or can one link to the Debian bug as another bug this is a duplicate of (I think not)? Let me know and I'm happy to help.... ** Bug watch added: Virtualbox Trac #9203 http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/9203 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/323091 Title: gedit and nautilus cannot modify file on SMB/CIFS share (file is busy) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/323091/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
