Description Josh Stone 2010-06-04 03:12:27 UTC
Description of problem:
When I mount an iso with gvfs, I see some files have no content when they should.  A simple public example is "Fedora-13-i386-netinst.iso", with "isolinux/initrd.img" and "images/pxeboot/vmlinuz" showing zero length.  Any file operation like opening them or copying to another location results in an empty file.

There are also files "images/pxeboot/initrd.img" and "isolinux/vmlinuz" which look fine.  I suspect that these are identical to the missing files, and some data sharing is happening in the ISO format.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gvfs-archive-1.4.3-8.el6.i686


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double-click an iso in nautilus to mount it with gvfs.
2. Browse the mounted filesystem.
3. Witness the zero-length files.
  
Actual results:
Some files have no content.


Expected results:
All files are properly available.


Additional info:
If I instead right-click on the iso and choose "Open with Archive Manager", then I can see every file with the proper size.

Also FWIW, this same issue appears on Fedora 13 with gvfs-1.6.1-3.fc13.x86_64.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-06-04 16:13:28 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

Comment 3 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-06-23 16:36:36 UTC
Oh, this looks like a problem in libarchive. Old libarchive-2.7.1 can read the ISO file correctly. Generally, libarchive is not good in ISO9660 images handling. Reproducible with libarchive-2.8.3-1.el6.x86_64

Comment 5 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-06-30 15:35:42 UTC
FYI, I've bisected the change to a bad commit r1419

http://code.google.com/p/libarchive/source/detail?r=1419&path=/trunk/libarchive/archive_read_support_format_iso9660.c

Comment 6 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-06-30 16:06:15 UTC
OK, I was wrong, bsdtar showed hardlinks yet gvfsd-archive doesn't support them at the moment.

Comment 10 Aleksandra Fedorova 2011-02-28 01:15:46 UTC
same problem here on f14 

# rpm -qa | grep archive
gvfs-archive-1.6.6-1.fc14.x86_64
libarchive-2.8.4-1.fc14.x86_64

Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
