** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235412 Title: stat() fails with EPERM on ~/.gvfs Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: While it is known that root can not access the contents of the .gvfs directory by design, stat() on the directory itself also fails with EPERM despite the fact that root has read permission on the parent directory. stat() on the mount point needs to succeed and should probably return a mode indicating no access is allowed. Simply determining that the directory IS a mount point and that you do not have access to its contents requires the use of stat.
