Hello, I encountered this strange behaviour and think this might be a bug (or at least a vfs inconsistency). I've found a dir .gvfs in my home dir that i can access as user but root fails with EACCES: ~> ls -dlin .gvfs 1 dr-x------ 2 1000 100 0 13. Mai 10:13 .gvfs ~> cd .gvfs ~/.gvfs> ls -lan total 4 dr-x------ 2 1000 100 0 May 13 10:13 . drwxr-xr-x 75 1000 100 4096 May 18 17:30 .. ~/.gvfs> cd .. ~> su Passwort: # ls -dlin .gvfs ls: cannot access .gvfs: Permission denied # cd .gvfs bash: cd: .gvfs: Permission denied ~> mount|grep gvfs gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/cord/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid, nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=100) My kernel is a 2.6.37.6 (from an OpenSUSE 11.4). Is the access denial to root for this directory considered OK? I also wonder about the reported dir size of zero (or is this normal for FUSE which I am not familiar with). Sorry for the noise, if this is all due to a misbehaving gvfs-fuse-daemon.
