[fuse-devel] getattr problems

[prashant c. <tpr...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a custom network file system using fuse-python. I am
using python's xmlrpclib for communication. The problem was the getattr
function was expected to return a posix.stat_result type value and xmlrpc
wasn't able to marshall it. So, I returned it as a tuple and changed its
type to posix.stat_result later. Anyways, the problem is the file/dir stat
values aren't getting reflected when I do an 'ls' on the file system. The
following is what is being displayed (tmp is the mount point),

drwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev  4096 2008-02-16 15:08 sda4
drwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev  4096 2008-02-17 18:26 sda5
?--------- ? ?    ?           ?                ? tmp

I get the following when I run the code with the -d option,

unique: 6, opcode: GETATTR (3), nodeid: 1, insize: 40
   unique: 6, error: -22 (Invalid argument), outsize: 16

what does error: -22 refer to ? Any suggestions ?
