Package: sshfs Version: 2.0-2 Severity: grave Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Under some conditions, sshfs silently truncates files. For instance, over sshfs, autoreconf generates a truncated configure script: vin:~> cmp ~/software/mpfr/configure ~/nfs/software/mpfr-trunk/configure cmp: EOF on /home/vlefevre/nfs/software/mpfr-trunk/configure (the first one is the configure generated locally, the second one has been generated via sshfs). The file size of the remote configure file is 860160 (instead of 861979). And after more than 10 minutes, it is still the same. I could reproduce this problem with two different servers (for the first one, the server directory is over NFS, but for the second one, it is just the local disk of the machine). I retried with the second server by using "-o cache=no" and the problem disappeared. Note that all file accesses have been done from the client, so that in theory, caching shouldn't matter. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25.8-20080623 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sshfs depends on: ii fuse-utils 2.7.3-4 Filesystem in USErspace (utilities ii libc6 2.7-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfuse2 2.7.3-4 Filesystem in USErspace library ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii openssh-client 1:5.1p1-2 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh sshfs recommends no packages. sshfs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
