Description of problem:
file manager used with firewire partition is broken in RHEL-3
if I try to manage files by drag and drop on the firewire partition,
the copy fails consistently.
at the same time, file manager changes my firewire partition to read
only after I mounted the partition as read/write.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.mount firewire drive
2.use file manager window to manage files.(copy or move)
3.
    

Actual Results:  after opening up file manager and cd'ing to firewire
partition, the partition is changed to read only after I originally
mounted it as read write.

Expected Results:  after opening file manager and cd'ing to firewire
partition, I should be able to copy, move, remove files.

I think the file manager you're using is nautilus.

Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2004-08-26 13:50:11 UTC
This is very strange, nautilus never mounts anything as readonly. Nor
does it remount things. Are you sure the file manager you used was
nautilus?

Comment 3 susan james 2004-08-26 15:06:51 UTC
I never mentioned that I was using nautilus.
note my original bug.
using file manager in KDE.

after opening up file manager and cd'ing to firewire
partition, the partition is changed to read only after I originally
mounted it as read write.

Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2004-09-02 12:17:12 UTC
Neither did you menation that you were using KDE.

Comment 5 Than Ngo 2004-09-08 09:56:20 UTC
i have tried to reproduce with your steps. It wokrs for me here.

could you please send me the output of 'mount' before/after you opens
file manager and cd'ing to firewire partition. Thank
