Bug#642997: nautilus: If /home is nfs import + ro + symlinks to real homes, can't create DIR/file

[Denny Schierz]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.30.1-2squeeze1
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze

If /home is a nfs read-only import and Userhomes in the folder only symlinks the 
real HOMES (also imports from NFSv3, but rw), than Nautilus can't create DIR/file. 
Nautilus says "Can't copy to foobar" Target is read-only.

Example:

/home -> Import from NFS server ro
/home/foobar -> Symlink to /other/target/foobar

/other/target/ -> Import from NFS server rw

This problem has only Nautilus under Squeeze. Dolphin, Thunar, Krusader, Terminal 
etc. works fine.
Nautilus under Lenny works with the same setup.



Workaround:

mount /home also rw and it works.
