Description ZMo 2011-05-04 02:32:25 UTC
I get an "I/O error" trying to save any libreoffice file into a directory mounted via sshfs who only accept own definied "user:group" permissions.

Following the pid with strace i ve noticed libreoffice do a

chown("/home/zmo/.libreoffice/3/user/backup/prova_libreoffice0.ods", 847, 847) = 0

during the save procedure. As mentioned above, my directory does not permit to store "user:user" files.

How can i workaround that, and first of all, which is the main reason to call chown/chmod saving files?


Thanks
Zmo

3.6.3 on RFR 17 64 bit works correctly
(installed package : yum install fuse-sshfs.x86_64)
meanwhile, closing as WFM

I confirm the bug which I reproduce with version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: 360m1 (Build:2))
I use Kubuntu 12.10 quantal.
I mounted manually a sshfs directory from a NAS (synology DS213, DSM 4.1). I can use all files in this mounted directory with dolphin, kate, and other applications (BTW identification done with RSA keys). I can open the same text document with Kate and LibreOffice. I can save it in Kate but NOT with LibreOffice. However, with LibreOffice I can save under another name or export as pdf. I guess that "overwriting" with the same name is for some reason not possible. I hope this help.
Comment 9 Michi 2014-05-02 11:19:27 UTC
I had the same bug on latest Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 Bit Intel. I am mounting a share over sshfs from my Synology Diskstation. Opening files, and saving under a new(!) filename worked out of the box. Saving to an existing (e.g. the original filename) led to the I/O error.

I fiddled around with the sshfs mount options, and in the end one of the workaround options ("truncate") did work for me, i.e. if I mount using:

  sshfs me@diskstation:/ diskstation -o workaround=truncate

does the trick.

HTH,
Michael

Never confirmed by QA team - moving to UNCONFIRMED.
Comment 11 tommy27 2014-12-14 14:42:26 UTC
it was confirmed by other users though... so status NEW.
anyway has anybody the chance to retest with current LibO 4.3.4.1 and give an update of the bug status?
Comment 12 Hans 2015-03-05 21:36:00 UTC
I can confirm this bug with LibreOffice 4.3.6.2 430m0(Build:2) on Ubuntu 14.04.2 64 bit.
Comment 13 Pascal Bodin 2015-08-15 14:55:58 UTC
I can confirm this bug with LibreOffice 4.4.3.2. The workaround=truncate does the trick for me as well.

OS: Linux Mint 7.2 64 bit.

there is chown in the source code, e.g.

Comment 17 Julien Nabet 2020-12-29 14:28:42 UTC
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I don't reproduce this.

I created a "pi" directory on Debian.
Then I used a raspberry pi 4b on which I enabled sshd
and typed:
sshfs pi@<raspberry ip4>: pi

Then, I could:
- create an odt file with just "test"
- save it
- close LO
- reopen the file
- modify it
- save it again

Also, I created a file from LO on Raspberry ("pi" user) then I could modify it from LO on Debian ("julien" user).

Did I miss something?
Could someone give a try with a recent LO version? 6.4.7 or brand new 7.0.4?
