[Bug 504806] [NEW] i/o errors on slow filesystems -- cannot copy big files

[shinyblue]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunar

Unbuntu 9.10 Karmic
Thunar 1.0.1-1ubuntu2

When copying a large file, or many files (>5?) over a slow fs, e.g.
(s)ftp over gvfs, or even (sometimes) smb over gvfs Thunar fails, either
saying "cannot copy xxxxx to yyyy: input/output error" or, just with all
instances disappearing from screen competely without so much as a bye
bye, or error.

e.g. I mount a network fs with Gigolo, such as ftp'ing to my website. I
open Thunar on the .gvfs/FTP... mount, and another instance on -say-
Desktop. Drag a folder with a descent amount of files in it from the FTP
site to the Desktop Thunar, and it starts, then dies after a bit.

It seems to have problems when it can't monitor the progress of a
transfer? Is it timing out on a per-file basis or something? [sorry,
stabbing in dark here].

The same operation with the same mount using pcmanfm works fine, ditto
using a terminal to do a cp command. So I conclude it's Thunar, not
anything else.

If I start Thunar from a command line, I get a "Bus error", outputed
when it disappears from screen.
