Bug#680418: Additionnal informations

[Nicolas Anonyme]

Hello,
I once again lost a (precious) file to this bug (using leafpad with gvfs
over sftp) 😭.

( gvfs 1.28.2 , leafpad 0.8.17 , debian 8 or ubuntu xenial )

Leafpad is just the trigger here. as the behavior of gvfs+sftp differs from
the local ext4 file system, it could cause some data loss in other software.

Reformulation of the bug:
if some data written to a stream file pointer are still not flushed before
opening+closing a second stream file pointer on that same file,
the flushing of remaining data on the first file pointer will :

   - succeed on a local ext4 filesystem.
   - fail when using gvfs+sftp (over a remote fs, or even over the local
   fs) with EOPNOTSUPP error code


@Max Rockatanski:
I think I will create a new bug report specifically for leafpad
