Do you know if the nedit, gedit and kwrite editors use extended file system attributes? Could it be some kind of collision with GlusterFS using the same ones? Just a shot in the dark. James Burnash, Unix Engineering -----Original Message----- From: gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org [mailto:gluster-users-bounces at gluster.org] On Behalf Of Dan Bretherton Sent: Monday, April 04, 2011 2:00 PM To: gluster-users Subject: [SPAM?] Editing text files on NFS mounted volumes Importance: Low Hello list- I have a strange problem opening text files on NFS mounted volumes with certain text editors. With nedit and gedit I get the error "Could not open file" or similar, and kwrite just show an empty file. Other editors such as emacs, vi, mousepad (XFCE4 desktop) and kedit (simple KDE editor) work fine. The problem is that nedit, gedit and kwrite are the ones most people want to use. None of the editors have any problems opening files on native GlusterFS mounts, but I only use the GlusterFS client on our compute servers and I don't want to have to install it on all the office PCs. Does anybody know why this problem occurs with NFS or how to stop it? -Dan. _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users at gluster.org http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users DISCLAIMER: This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
