Hi
There's a bug (*) which has annoyed me for some time now. With $HOME on
NFS, editing a desktop launcher with nautilus closes the window after
nautilus tries to change the file. This was debugged and upstream thinks
that atomic rename is buggy on NFS. Quote:
"Results from mv temp.txt foobar
On NFS:
Directory Monitor Event:
Child = /mnt/data/temp/foobar
Event = DELETED
Directory Monitor Event:
Child = /mnt/data/temp/temp.txt
Event = DELETED
Directory Monitor Event:
Child = /mnt/data/temp/foobar
Event = CREATED
On ext3:
Directory Monitor Event:
Child = /tmp/x/temp.txt
Event = DELETED
Directory Monitor Event:
Child = /tmp/x/foobar
Event = CREATED
This is IMHO bogus behaviour from NFS. At no time is the "foobar" file not
visible, so it should IMHO not be reported as deleted."
Or is it a feature that needs to be worked around in client apps?
