Description Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2010-12-16 12:55:54 UTC 
The copy action starts, but after a few megabytes it stalls. I have to kill nautilus and /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-dav and restart the copying :/

I happily provide more detail on request, if someone could hint me where to looks for more detail.

-> gvfs
Comment 2 Tomas Bzatek 2011-04-13 10:54:05 UTC 
Could you please provide a backtrace? Any segfaults in dmesg? Suspect to be the well-known recursive sync dbus call.
Comment 3 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2011-04-14 06:53:59 UTC 
This time I got a end-of-datastream error after copying 1GB of 4.8GB. The backtraces at that time does not look too useful to me:

(gdb) thread apply all bt

Affects me too

Fedora 18
nautilus-3.6.3-4
gvfs-1.14.2-3

everything freezes. I can move only mouse and I can switch to another virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2; the virtual terminal works OK)

This is probably caused by bug 727988.

Also, copying to a dav share causes the entire file to be buffered in memory which can cause problems if you do not have enough memory (see bug 570772).

I also have this issue with 3.12.2 and gvfs 1.20.2. Trying to copy any file larger than 1.1GB via WebDAV to a Owncloud installation hangs at 1.1GB. 

First I tought my Owncloud installation was in problem, but I could successfully transfer 450GB worth of data using NetDrive on Windows http://www.netdrive.net/, which maps a drive to a WebDAV share.

This is because of bug 727988, but it is fixed in gnome 3.14 for the case where you're copying from a local file.

Closing as fixed since this bug is mostly fixed in 570772 and the other case is open as bug 727988.
