Description ralph_blach 2010-04-01 23:50:09 UTC 
I am running the latest windows XP  with fedora core 12 as a virtual box guest.

I am using the virtual box shared folders to share my windows directory with 
fedora directory.

the file shared file is mounted with the following command.

mount.vboxsf  -o uid=500,gid=500 vboxshare /home/rcblach/Desktop/vboxshare

when I cd to /home/rcblach/Desktop/vboxshare and open a txt file,
edit and try and save it, I get the following error.

Unexpected error: Text file busy.


** (gedit:1797): WARNING **: Hit unhandled case 0 (Text file busy) in parse_error.

This is major problem.

The bug in gedit here is that we do not provide a specific error message, though I am not sure we can do better since the error code is "0" and we cannot know exactly what went wrong.

The fact that the file is busy is a problem either with virtualbox or fedora or something else, we cannot do anything about that
