Package: davfs2 Version: 1.4.6-1 Severity: wishlist
davfs2 has good caching capability, but this causes applications to fail when the previous action is invisibly backgrounded, causing a long delay for commands that follow, even if those commands are expected to be quick. E.g. if a 50mb file is uploaded to a webdav share, the Duplicity backup tool presumes that the job is done, and issues the next command. The next command gets queued for a long time, and Duplicity gives up. (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=693546) I propose adding an option to turn off caching. Normally, the "sync" option is used in the fstab. However, davfs2 fails when this option is given. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages davfs2 depends on: ii adduser 3.112+nmu2 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.11.3-4 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libneon27-gnutls 0.29.3-3 An HTTP and WebDAV client library davfs2 recommends no packages. davfs2 suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/davfs2/secrets [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/etc/davfs2/secrets' -- debconf information: davfs2/user_name: davfs2 davfs2/group_name: davfs2 davfs2/new_group: true davfs2/non_root_users_confimed: davfs2/suid_file: false davfs2/new_user: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
