We are now on 10.10 Maverick and this bug still exists. I can't believe that! I have over 20 years experience in unix systems, and believe me, if this bug is meant "by design", than this design is broken! There should be nothing that root can't access on my own machine. There are some filesystems for accessing remote file systems (e.g. nfs), where you can define root acces as "nobody". This is for security reasons, because you don't always have control over user rigths on remote systems. But inside my own system, root should have access to everything.
And even if I have mounted filesystems where my root account has nobodys rights, then it should be possible to exclude them with rsyncs -x option (don't cross filesystem boundaries). This seems to be a second bug. Why does rsync try to include .gvfs with the -x option? If this is a mounted filesystem, it should be recognized as such. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225361 Title: other users don't have access to .gvfs -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
