nautilus fails on EEXIST when copying
Last modified: 2015-03-03 17:28:07 EST
Description of problem: when copying files from case-sensitive filesystem to case-insensitive filesystem (e.g. from ext3 to USB disk) nautilus dies on EEXIST silently when "existing" file is detected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-2.14.0-1 How reproducible: by creating two files which differ only in one letter - one file has lower letter, second has upper letter and copying the files from case-sensitive FS to case-insensitive FS. Steps to Reproduce: 1. create two files on case-sensitive FS, e.g. "One.txt" and "one.txt" 2. copy these two files via nautilus to case-insensitive FS Actual results: nautilus dies upon EEXIST silently Expected results: nautilus should prompt user what to do (overwrite/skip/cancel) Additional info: Description of my setup: I was copying my mp3 albums to backup USB disk. One of the albums has following files in it: [root@erazim Bachelor No. 2-cd1]# ls -al total 71324 drwxrwxr-x 2 techie lidi 4096 Sep 2 2004 . drwxrwxr-x 4 techie lidi 4096 Nov 12 22:33 .. -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 5988833 Nov 12 22:35 Calling It Quits.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 8069025 Nov 12 22:35 Deathly.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 5503068 Nov 12 22:35 Driving Sideways.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 5039678 Nov 12 22:35 Ghost World.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 3631104 Nov 12 22:35 How Am I Different.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 5904408 Nov 12 22:35 It Takes All Kinds.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 1983078 Nov 12 22:35 Just Like Anyone.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 4545364 Nov 12 22:35 Nothing is Good Enough.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 5377257 Nov 12 22:35 Red Vines.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 5992448 Nov 12 22:35 Satellite.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 5547509 Nov 12 22:35 Susan.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 4483328 Nov 12 22:35 The Fall of the World's Ow.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 5314688 Nov 12 22:35 You do.mp3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 techie lidi 5400399 Nov 12 22:35 You Do.mp3 - notice the last two files I was copying the files via nautilus and when it detected that one of the files exist on USB disk (which has case-insenstive FS on it), it silently exited so the rest of mp3 albums was not copied (which is really undesirable since I wanted to backup all of the albums) nautilus died with the messages stored in nautilus-copy-fail.log (attached)
