#1509 Sshfs locking problems on linux

[Ven]

In Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop I have mounted sshfs where tasks.tsk file is stored. The mounting command is this:
sshfs -p 20001 -o reconnect me@domain.com:/home/me/files /home/me/files

After any change in TaskCoach I got error "Cannot save /home/me/files/tasks.tsk. It is locked by another instance of Task Coach.". There is no another instance and in the same directory I have two additional files - tasks.tsk.lock and tasks.tsk.lock.me.MainThread-1234. I can confirm that its working normally when tasks.tsk file is stored on my local filesystem.

Jérôme Laheurte suggests: "The locking code is a bit filesystem-dependent and it was never tested with sshfs, so it’s probably a bug."

A fix was made and checked into the source code repository of Task Coach. The fix will be part of the next release. You will get another notification when that release is available with the request to install the new release and confirm that your issue has indeed been fixed.

If you like, you can download a recent build from http://www.fraca7.net/TaskCoach-packages/latest_bugfixes.py to test the fix.

Because a fix has been made for this bug report, the priority of this report has been lowered to 1 and its resolution has been set to 'Fixed'.

Hi, it's many years later, and as I close this old resolved ticket, I'm excited to tell you that https://github.com/taskcoach/taskcoach now has updated Python3 Task Coach codebase! Packages are available for some common Linux systems and we can add more.

We'd love to have you test the updated program

Cheers
