Description Martin Wegner 2012-04-17 17:12:55 UTC
After upgrading to gnome-base/gvfs-1.12.0 volumes fail to mount e. g. in nautilus with this error message:

Unable to mount <volume>
Failed to execute child process "setfacl" (No such file or directory)

The obvious cause of this is that I do not have sys-apps/acl installed as ACLs are not compiled into the filesystems in my kernel.

gvfs should not use ACL utilities if not present or at least support USE="-acl".

Downgrading to gnome-base/gvfs-1.10.1 solves this (for now).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =gnome-base/gvfs-1.12.0
2. Open nautilus
3. Click a mountable volume that is not mounted yet
Actual Results:  
Volume is not mounted, fails with error message as stated above.

Expected Results:  
Should not depend on ACLs being available.

Comment 1 Rafał Mużyło 2012-04-17 17:37:53 UTC
For one, it's not a gvfs requirement, it's inherited for udisks2.
Also, it's not that unreasonable.
Comment 2 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-17 19:38:53 UTC
Reported to upstream here:

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48842

And missing sys-apps/acl RDEPEND committed to Portage:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-fs/udisks/udisks-1.94.0.ebuild?r1=1.1&r2=1.2
Comment 3 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-17 19:42:58 UTC
Does it still fail after installing sys-apps/acl (even if kernel has the mentioned options disabled) ?
Comment 4 Martin Wegner 2012-04-17 20:39:34 UTC
Yes, it still fails with another error message, setfacl reports missing ACL support in the filesystem.

I will provide the exact error message as soon as I'm home again.
Comment 5 Small_Penguin 2012-04-17 20:53:27 UTC
Same problem here. ACLs for USB sticks reasonable? No way. Downgrading to gnome-base/gvfs-1.10.1 is a good workaround.
Comment 6 Brian Beardall 2012-04-17 20:59:41 UTC
I had acl installed prior and the acl support isn't working yet. A user will get the error message of "no such file or directory" because the devices are being mounted in "/run/media/$user". The user directories aren't being created automatically and so I have had to manually add needed user directories before mounting works for udisks.

(In reply to comment #5)
> Same problem here. ACLs for USB sticks reasonable? No way.

ACLs are for mount points, not for the content.

(In reply to comment #6)
Does /run exist ? If so, is that a permission problem ?
What's the exact error ?
Comment 8 Brian Beardall 2012-04-17 23:02:57 UTC
The exact error is:

Command-line `setfacl -m "u:brian:rx" "/run/media/brian"' didn't exit normally: setfacl: /run/media/brian: Operation not supported
Comment 9 Brian Beardall 2012-04-17 23:29:45 UTC
I got the problem resolved. ACL support needs to be enabled in the kernel for tmpfs.
Comment 10 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-04-18 06:52:28 UTC
Quoting from NEWS of udisks-1.94.0:

------------
udisks 1.92.0
------------

[ .. ]

Changes since udisks 1.91.0:

[ .. ]

 David Zeuthen (6):
       Avoid using $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/media for now
       Use /run/media/$USER for mounting

So that would require us to check for:

CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL=y

From udisks ebuild and warn the user if the option is missing.

Now the ebuild will warn if that option is missing:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-fs/udisks/udisks-1.94.0.ebuild?r1=1.2&r2=1.3

From ebuild point of view, this bug should now be done. If you wish for sys-apps/acl and CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL to become optional in udisks, go to the upstream bug and make your case there. It's not me who you have to convince.

Comment 12 Rafał Kłys 2013-04-01 17:55:06 UTC
Here is a bug in udisks bugzilla, about removing hard dependency on ACLs: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61162. It have patch attached, it looks like it's just a matter of doing fallback to behavior from previous udisks when acls are not present.

See bug 458568.   Of course we will support non-ACL kernels soon as upstream does too, but not before.
Comment 14 Rafał Kłys 2013-04-01 18:13:15 UTC
Yes, I just wanted to leave here note for all those who will find this bug from udisks ebuild comment. Didn't spot the other bug, thanks.
Comment 15 David Heidelberg (okias) 2014-03-13 20:32:40 UTC
As udisks-2.1.x is lastest package in my ACL-less system, I send patch to mailing list, with --disable-acl build option, to avoid compiling with ACL support.
