This is during the copy showing the bogus message.
I believe this has something to do with the latency involved with USB sticks.
A few seconds before issuing the paste, there was a directory named ycc on the stick. I renamed it to just get the name "ycc" out of the way so that the paste could reuse the same name.
This occurs sometimes, and not others.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 576934 [details] This is before the copy, showing that the directory ycc does not exist on the stick. Description of problem: Copying a few meg of files to a USB stick sometimes causes the copy operation to issue false warning messages about replacing files that don't exist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fully patched F16 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Using Nautilus select a directory to copy & hit copy. i.e. ycc 2. Using another Nautilus that pops up when a stick is mounted, rename the same directory to something else. (ycc is on the stick, representing the last copy. Rename it to some rubbish to get the name out of the way. 3. Hit paste into the USB stick. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Attaching 2 screen shots. One shows the source and target of the copy. The other shows the bogus warning. The before shows that no directory (ycc) exists on the stick Since the directory being copied (ycc) didn't exist on the stick, how can the copy find an existing older file in the hierarchy to give the warning? That's impossible.
