Subject: mv fails to overwrite existing files

Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 12:20:43 +0200

Package: sshfs
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: important

The subject says it all. Do:

touch x
touch y
mv -f x y

and you will get "Permission denied".

Subject: sshfs: More information about rename()

Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2005 10:42:52 -0400

Package: sshfs
Version: 1.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #318078

I did some research into this today.

OpenSSH implements the SFTP protocol draft standard, version 3.  This
version requires rename to fail if the destination file exists, and so
OpenSSH does its best to implement that by using link().

There's a protocol version 4, which makes heavy use of Unicode, et cetera. 
One of the changes was to the rename operation; it now takes flags, one of
which says the rename is allowed to overwrite.  This lets you request the
server perform an atomic rename() call.  However, OpenSSH doesn't implement
this protocol version.  I haven't seen any obvious objections to doing so,
just that it's a lot of work and nobody's done it.

In the mean time, it would be simple to make sshfs perform non-atomic
renames.  That's a little sketchy, so probably it shouldn't be done by
default.  But it would be nice to have an option to unlink the destination
file and try again if rename failed.

Without this there's lots of things I can't run on sshfs.  The most annoying
is cvs update.

This is a FAQ dammit!

   mv fails with "Operation not permitted".
   
   Use -o workaround=rename (requires sshfs version >= 1.3).
