[Bug 397103] Re: find skips directory when pruning ".gvfs"

[sageb1]

I have a question: could gvfs-fuse-daemon cause "sudo updatedb &" to
give the error where /st/bin/find cannot look into .gvfs due to the
directory permissions being dr-x (500).

It is possible that there must be a directory-related number before
"500" or .gvfs is a virtual directory mounted by interaction between
gvfs-fuse-daemon and libgvfs even when drives are mounted.

Since .gvfs is only used with USB drives, sdcards in usb adapter, and
devices such as the MTP drive on the cell phone via bluetooth, the find
error is not a big error and can be ignore because it is not mission
critical.

Hence the lack of complaints about it, because it only occurs when gvfs
is not mounted to removable media such remote devices such as the MTP
drive on a cell phone paired to my computer, an SDcard or USB drive.

Please note that I am only asking a related question, not a real bug.

Title:
  find skips directory when pruning ".gvfs"

Status in “findutils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In a user's home directory, run "find" as root as follows:

      # cd /home/cro
      # find . -path ./.gvfs -prune -o -print

  "find" skips ".gvfs" as expected but fails to descend into the
  "Dokumente" directory.

  The problem occurs under the following conditions:

  - "find" is run as "root" via "sudo find"
  - gvfs-fuse-daemon mounted on /home/cro/.gvfs

  In my case, just the "Dokumente" directory is skipped. I do not have
  access to another Ubuntu system and cannot say if and how the issue
  manifests itself on other installations.

  The issue occurs when using "flexbackup", and it is annoying that only
  the less interesting part of my files is backed up.

  Work-around is to unmount "gvfs-fuse-daemon" before backup.

  Ubuntu 9.04
  findutils 4.4.0-2ubuntu4
