Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
gnomevfs-info is recognizing filesystems mounted over NFS as local filesystems:
example:
lkocman@ThinkPad T400$ gnomevfs-info /mnt/archive/tmp | grep Local
Local : YES
lkocman@ThinkPad T400$ df -h /mnt/archive/tmp/
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
filer-eng.brq.redhat.com:/vol/engineering/share
100G 31G 70G 31% /misc/filer-eng/vol/engineering/share
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-vfs2-2.24.2-6.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. gnomevfs-info /mnt/filesystem_mounte_over_nfs
Actual results:
Local: YES
Expected results:
Local: NO
Looking into the gnome-vfs2 sources it's clear that the flag is always set for the file method and never set otherwise (see GNOME_VFS_FILE_INFO_SET_LOCAL() macro usage). See http://library.gnome.org/devel/gnome-vfs-2.0/stable/gnome-vfs-20-gnome-vfs-file-info.html for more information.
The flag 'local' here isn't meant to distinguish between physically available media and the virtual ones, it just indicates ability to access the files directly via POSIX calls. It's a different way of thinking.
This is by design behaviour and correcting this would probably break applications, nominating for devel_ack-. Should this make troubles in real life applications, please let us know here.
