Hi,
I have an annoying problem which I'd like to fix.
Something (probably some Gnome application) repeatedly creates the
folder
.gvfs with permissions dr-x------ 2 jarausch users
When I run tar (as root!) I get
tar: ./jarausch/.gvfs: Cannot stat: Permission denied
which sets an error return code for tar or even terminates tar.
What I can do about this? (I don't run the Gnome desktop, just some
Gnome applications.)
Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

AFAIK this dir is created by gvfs-mount, which uses fuse. By default
fuse creates its mountpoints / files only with permissons for the user
running it.
You could :
- use tar --exclude (probably the best, since the files are only
temporary mountpoints)
- change the rights of the dir with chown
- try use_allow_other in /etc/fuse.conf

Thanks Thanasis and Matthias.
I didn't recognize that .gvfs is a mount point for an sshfs file
system.
Helmut.
