Bug with FUSE mounts

[jabuzzard]

Using the unofficial RPM client (because WTF only providing official .deb packages is a joke). Anyway breaks if you have a file system mounted using FUSE. In my case sshfs. Basically it tries to backup the mount point but the way FUSE works only the user who mounted the file system can see the contents of FUSE mounts so it dies with a permission denied error.

Noting that a remotely useful backup client should NEVER give up because it cannot access a file. Basically you should get a report at the end that there were failed/skipped files, possibly dumping a txt file with a list of them.

If the message says `stat failed on <directory>` you should be able to exclude it as a workaround [1].

The client does skip files if it doesn't have permission to open them. It just doesn't seem to handle the (rare) case where it doesn't even have the permission to read metadata.

Hi jabuzzard,

Using the unofficial RPM client (because WTF only providing official .deb packages is a joke).

I miss the reference, but for April's fool it's a day late

Did you set allow_other for your SSHFS mount?
