Description of problem: When copying a lot of files from a ntfs mounted partition to a network share on samba, the connection is lost and appear the following message on /var/log/messages: Oct 4 20:38:01 xxxx kernel: gvfsd-smb[9457]: segfault at c ip 0805fdc2 sp bff26fc0 error 4 in gvfsd-smb[8048000+20000] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gvfs-0.2.5-1.fc9.i386 gvfs-fuse-0.2.5-1.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Very often Steps to Reproduce: 1. Double Click on an ntfs media mounted by gnome 2. Browse the Network and look for a share on a Samba Server 3. Copy a folder with 3GB or more 4. Around 15% of the process, the Window with the Samba Server listing will turn into a /home/%user/ listing and the copy process will stop completely. Actual results: The copy process hangs and you must kill the navigator or restart gnome. Expected results: The copy process should complete without problems. Additional info: The problem only happens on Gnome. I tried making the copy using KDE and it works properly. I found several messages alike in /var/log/messages: Oct 3 18:15:28 bbpc kernel: gthumb[6349]: segfault at 1165 ip 00501a27 sp b665d240 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.6[4b9000+e1000] Oct 4 16:17:22 bbpc kernel: nautilus[4019]: segfault at 9 ip 00501a27 sp b7be2220 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.6[4b9000+e1000] Oct 4 16:17:22 bbpc kernel: nautilus[4019]: segfault at 9 ip 00501a27 sp b7be2220 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.6[4b9000+e1000] Oct 4 16:17:22 bbpc kernel: nautilus[4019]: segfault at 9 ip 00501a27 sp b7be2220 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.6[4b9000+e1000] Oct 4 16:17:22 bbpc kernel: nautilus[4019]: segfault at 9 ip 00501a27 sp b7be2220 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.6[4b9000+e1000] Oct 3 18:15:28 bbpc kernel: gthumb[6349]: segfault at 1165 ip 00501a27 sp b665d240 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.6[4b9000+e1000]
Can you please post backtrace here? (check http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces) In order to do that, you'll need to run 'gdb /usr/libexec/gvfsd-smb' and set arguments in form of 'set args share=<your_share> server=<smb_server>'. Beware this way lacks authentication support. Don't forget to install gvfs-debuginfo, samba-debuginfo and glib2-debuginfo packages.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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.
