GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 92951
Scripts don't run on nfs partitions.
Last modified: 2009-11-02 18:11:29 UTC
If I run a script over the right-click menu on a file that is on a nfs partition, it just doesn't get executed. No message or anything. My assumption on the reasons is that nautilus considers files on nfs mounts as remote and therefore does not run scripts on them (which would make sense when using a remote source via gnome-vfs like ftp). But since nfs are mounted transparently, there is no technical problem. Furthermore I think moutned nfs trees should be considered local, or at least there should be an option to set them local. I am planing on moving my data on a server and share them over nfs, but that would render my nautilus-scripts useless. And if nfs would be local I can make nautilus show thumbnails on nfs mounts but not on ftp:// urls.
<sigh> is_local and nfs are still a mess :/
The script does get executed but the $* is not set when executing against a file on NFS. Anyone interested in giving me any pointers where to find this bug and I can try to locate it and come up with a patch.
is that still an issue ?
Yes, this bug still exists and is very annoying. As Mikael said, if you execute a script on an nfs mounted Partition the parameters $1 $2 $3 ... (or $@) are not set but I don't know where to find it ;)
reopening as per last comment.
Benjamin, could you please try with a more recent GNOME? Bug 502987 had a similar issue and it can't be reproduced with 2.26 :)
Didn't used nautilus-scripts for a while since nautilus-actions are more handy but it seems to work now with a test script (with 2.26.1)…
Ok, this is fixed then.
