Revision history for this message
In , Pascal (pascal-redhat-bugs) wrote :

When audit is enabled (for example by readahead-collector), there is a deadlock
when gvfs-fuse-daemon launches mount (through fuse lib) to update fstab, and
mount calls readlink to canonalize the mountpoint, and audit requests the
xattrs of this directory, which is mounted so fuse asks the daemon which is currently blocked in waitpid, waiting for mount to exit.

The simple patch is (in fuse) to not wait for mount to return when updating
fstab.

This is exactly the same bug that happened with ntfs-3g in bug 486619 but was only fixed in the internal copy of fuse code.
