If such a file is selected and right clicked upon in Nautilus the file disappears. If you re-open the window it is back again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Locate a file larger than 2GB. 2. Select it. 3. Right click on it. Actual Results: The file disappears. Expected Results: The right click menu should appear. This is verified in the GNOME bugzilla to be a problem with fam and not with Nautilus. They have a 3 line patch to fam to fix the problem. Maybe this patch can be included in the Gentoo ebuild (this was the reason for me to report it here)? The bug and solution is from late 2002, but the problem is still there and maybe the patch still works. The bug on GNOME bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94730 The patch in the Nautilus mailing list: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2002-October/msg00184.html foser@gentoo.org 2005-01-05 07:46:05 0000 we had this patch when it was needed and iirc the newer fam releases (2.7.*) have this included already. christian@rudh.se 2005-01-05 08:03:14 0000 Strange. I have the exact same problem right now on Gentoo (~x86) and have had for at least a year. If I shut fam down it works correctly. rndmtask@drigon.com 2005-01-21 20:22:20 0000 I Made a patch that works with fam-2.7.0. This fixes the problem for me, I've been able to work with files up to 4.4GB. rndmtask@drigon.com 2005-01-21 20:24:05 0000 Created an attachment (id=49166) Large file patch christian@rudh.se 2005-01-22 02:13:31 0000 Thanks Daniel, that patch solved all my problems! It would be nice if it was included by default. cj@vdbonline.com 2005-04-21 16:09:48 0000 I can confirm that this bug is still there with fam-2.7.0-r2 and that the patch fixes the problem. *Please* can someone add the patch to the ebuild. This bug is a real PITA and the fix is simple and clean (not to mention 3 years old). allanonjl@gentoo.org 2005-04-28 20:19:48 0000 magical :) I confirm this happens with fam-2.7.0-r2, will add the patch tommorrow morning in the tree. To reproduce ( for other gnome gentoo devs to try ): dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/bigZero bs=256k count=8500 /etc/init.d/famd start open nautilus and right click the file watch it disappear :) hit the refresh button in nautilus, watch it reappear rinse and repeat allanonjl@gentoo.org 2005-04-29 05:52:03 0000 patch committed to tree ~ for fam-2.7.0-r3. Please test!
