2010-10-15 09:03:55 Evgeni Kolev description I use Eclipse IDE (Zend Studio to be exact) for editing code on my development servers. Because we have internal development servers, I connect to them via SSH and use the .gvfs folder in my home directory to access the files through Eclipse. I.e: /home/s.rees/.gvfs/sftp for s.rees on internal.dev/var/www Before upgrading to 10.10 Maverick I was fine reading and writing the files, but now any time it goes to save a file I get an empty file as a result. Making it impossible to do any work... I don't know if this is a bug or a wacky feature (that can be disabled?)... s.rees@ws-17hm42s:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 s.rees@ws-17hm42s:~$ sudo apt-cache policy gvfs gvfs: Installed: 1.6.4-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.6.4-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.6.4-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/ubuntu/ maverick/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Non-GIO programs truncate files when saving.

A bug in either FUSE or gvfs-fuse glue code has been discovered which causes some applications to truncate files to 0 bytes on save. REGRESSION POTENTIAL: There is currently no patch for fuse, the upstream gvfs developer has proposed a patch that deals with truncate at the gvfs side. The patch has only been applied to Fedora 15, it hasn't yet been backported to neither Fedora 13 nor Fedora 14 so it hasn't been tested other than for it fixing the reported issue. I guess we should upload it to natty first for preliminary testing but the data-loss is quite huge problem for people affected. TEST CASE: A write-access to any gvfs powered remote share is required, the following options assume you have mounted it through the Places->Connect to Server... dialog (or using an existing bookmark). Create a file with some content, for example by doing: $ echo "test" > test.file then edit the file using nano, add some more text and save (^X, Y, [ENTER]), after that the file is empty. Same actions with proposed update should result in a file that has entered text.
