Hello,
I have the strangest anomaly with all .gvfs directories in /home/user_accounts/
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs
I get permission denied even as root and I cannot delete the dir.
Don't say "even as root". As root you don't get permissions on that directory. It is the gnome vfs directory, fuse mounted, and root has no access. You can only see that directory as root when gvfs-fuse-daemon hasn't mounted it, but then of course it is empty. Those are non-local user files, and the local admin shouldn't be nosy :) Does the user who is running gvfs-fuse-daemon? ~~~~~~ Thanks for the reply Anders. Okay, I see. Only the owner/user can see the perm's. However, I need to delete the home dir for the user so I can recreate it, but I can't as root, as it keeps complaining about the .gvfs dir. How can I stop fuse so the home dir can be deleted. Best regards, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hm, it should have been stopped when the user logged out. I hope you're not trying to delete the home directory while the user is still logged in. Is the directory mounted (check in /proc/mounts)? If it is, you can unmount it as root. Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Manually unmounted it and the dir was successfully deleted. Many thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
