"operation not supported" when trying to overwrite file

[Johann Bauer]

Hello,

I'm seeing some strange issues when trying to overwrite files in my s3ql file system:

    # echo "" > s3ql/data/test && echo OK

    zsh: operation not supported: s3ql/data/appdata_ocp7izw7z2ll/css/icons/icons-vars.css

    # echo "" >> s3ql/data/test && echo "OK"

    OK

    # ls s3ql/data/test -la

    -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 111060 Dec 3 09:45 s3ql/data/test

    # rm s3ql/data/test && echo OK

    OK

    # echo "" > s3ql/data/test && echo OK

    OK

    # echo "" > s3ql/data/test   && echo OK  
    zsh: operation not supported: s3ql/data/test

So I'm able to create files, remove files, append to files but I can not overwrite files.

    # mount | grep s3ql

    swiftks://auth.cloud.ovh.net/DE:test/ on /mnt/s3ql/data type fuse.s3ql (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other)

Since the user guide says "Conceptually, S3QL is indistinguishable from a local file system" I assume this should work.

Any idea what's wrong here?

This is probably https://github.com/s3ql/s3ql/issues/182 (since the
first fix there's been a proper one too, https://github.com/s3ql/s3ql/pull/197).


Best,

Indeed, 3.6.0 fixes this. Thanks!
