Title:
  gvfs should unmount remote mounts on network disconnect

Status in GVFS:
  New
Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gvfs

  Problem: gvfs does not unmount remote shares if network disconnects.
  It leads to unusable mounts on my desktop after network is
  reconnected.

  Expected behavior: unmount all remote shares on network disconnect

  Workaround: manually unmount remote mounts before trying to access
  them after network disconnect/reconnect.

  It is especially painful for roaming laptop users who always connect
  to different networks but want to access the same ftp/sftp/etc.
  server.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 223636] Re: gvfs should unmount remote mounts on network disconnect

2013-11-13 Thread Victor Yap
For users who use gvfs exclusively in a desktop environment:

This kind of issue is apparently somewhat addressed by a program called
Gigolo (http://www.uvena.de/gigolo/index.html)

It makes it easier for me to do the reconnecting.  More specifically, it
doesn't care if the mount was left dangling; it's smart enough to sort
that out simply by being asked to connect.

As for those who might be using gvfs to support CLI operations... maybe
Gigolo's source code can reveal some potentially useful insights that
can be carried into gvfs...  http://git.xfce.org/apps/gigolo

Title:
  gvfs should auto reconnect when disconnected

Status in “gnome-vfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When a connection is made to a remote server through, for example ftp,
  in many cases the host disconnects when there is no activity during a
  timeout. This is not a particular problem is Nautilus, because then a
  reconnect will take place.

  However, when a file is opened on the remote server (for example a
  text file opened by gedit) and when a disconnect has taken place,
  saving the file results in an error. gvfs should detect this situation
  and automatically reconnect.

  Woraround for this situation: navigate with Nautilus to the remote
  connection, press F5 for refresh and the connection is re-established.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 212789] Re: gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login

2011-11-07 Thread Victor Yap
Leveraging off oyvinst's script (comment #14)...

I worked around this bug by doing a little bit more:

# Quick and dirty hack to unmount ~/.gvfs directory on logout.
if test -d "$HOME/.gvfs" ; then
  for f in "$HOME/.gvfs"
  do
/bin/fusermount -zu "$HOME/.gvfs/$f" 1>/dev/null 2>&1 || true
  done
  /bin/fusermount -zu "$HOME/.gvfs" 1>/dev/null 2>&1 || true
  rmdir "$HOME/.gvfs"
fi

... the script's written from gut-feeling and I didn't actually go
through the steps to troubleshoot any bugs in its logic... >_> I applied
this for Ubuntu 11.10 ... my quickfix intuition is that the .gvfs folder
should be recreated from scratch on session login for the gvfs magic to
work, even after doing the initial unmount... If someone could instead
point out what command(s) are used to do the magic service's
initialization, we might be able to "restart" it within a session
instead of cycling through "logout -> login".

Title:
  gvfs fuse mount is not functional after logout and subsequent login

Status in GVFS:
  Fix Released
Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gvfs” source package in Hardy:
  Fix Released
Status in “gvfs” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gvfs

  GVFS-backed mounts are working perfectly on fresh OS boot. After
  logout and following login every attempt to access $HOME/.gvfs (i.e.
  with ls or df) results in 'Transport endpoint is not connected' error
  message. At the same time $HOME/.gvfs is present in /etc/mtab. Also
  GVFS-mounts are accessible through FUSE when /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-fuse-
  daemon is called with some other directory as argument.

  Branch of Ubuntu involved is hardy (with all current updates
  installed), version of gvfs, gvfs-backends, gvfs-fuse and
  libgvfscommon0 packages is 0.2.2svn20080403-0ubuntu1.

  
  TESTCASE:

  - log into GNOME
  - browse a network location using nautilus
  - verify that the location is fuse mounted under .gvfs
  - close your session
  - switch to a vt and look to .gvfs or log again and do that, you should get 
an error saying that .gvfs is not connected
  - install the update
  - try those again, now .gvfs is correctly unmounted on logout, and on next 
login it's still usuable
