I've had this problem for a while now but it's finally driven me mad. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have a directory with some local mercurial repos. I'm the only user |
| 4 |
who touches these repos. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Things will go fine for a while, and suddenly I'll do a commit and then |
| 7 |
hg will die with |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
abort: Permission denied: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
on one of the ./hg/* files. When I look at the file I'll find it's |
| 12 |
owned by 1000:messagebus. So I'm too busy to investigate so I just |
| 13 |
"sudo chown -R $USER:users ~/path/to/repo" and go along my way... then |
| 14 |
the next day—or whenever—the same thing happens again! |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
It's weird because I don't have a user with uid=1000 in /etc/passwd, but |
| 17 |
messagebus has a gid=1000. Also the seems to only happen to the two Hg |
| 18 |
repos I am working on. |

The last time this happened (just now), the mtime on the file is 18 |
| 21 |
June. The ctime is 19 June (the fs is mounted with noatime). The last |
| 22 |
time I did the chown thing was on the 20th (so the ctime kinda doesn't |
| 23 |
make sense, if I understand correctly), so could this possibly be a bug |
| 24 |
in the fs (ext4)? |
