[fuse-devel] bug2 in fuse + sshfs

[Wolfgang <wk...@ko...>]

Hi,

I found some strange and annoying behaviour when using sshfs.
Overwriting an existing file with move seems impossible.

when using a tiny test program called test.sh
> #!/bin/sh
> echo a > a
> cp a b
> mv a b
> ls
on ext3 i get:
> $ ./test.sh=20
> b  test.sh
on sshfs i get:
> $ ./test.sh=20
> mv: cannot move `a' to `b': Operation not permitted
> a  b  test.sh

I have this problem with fuse + sshfs from debian sarge as well as with
current fuse (2.5.1) and sshfs (1.4) (debian kernel 2.4.27).

This behaviour could be the reason that gedit can not save files,
unless they are deleted (by hand) on the filesystem before.

Any solutions ?

Bye,
Wolfgang
