Package: unionfs-fuse Version: 0.24-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Hi,
it's totally impossible to use the COW feature as soon as some directory with incovenient permissions comes inbetween. It simply returns permission-denied when you try to chmod/write the file therein. Test vectors: a) unionfs-fuse -ocow repdir=RW:/var/cache=RO testdir -ononempty chmod -R a+w testdir b) unionfs-fuse -ocow repdir=RW:/var/log=RO testdir -ononempty echo foo >> testdir/cups/access_log (or similar existing file in a read-only directory) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-rc6 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages unionfs-fuse depends on: ii fuse-utils 2.8.4-1.1 Filesystem in USErspace (utilities ii libc6 2.11.2-11 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfuse2 2.8.4-1.1 Filesystem in USErspace library unionfs-fuse recommends no packages. unionfs-fuse suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
