Failed to open tag directory about tmsu

[oniony]

Hello Ahmad,

Sorry to hear you are having problems with TMSU. There is a known issue with the VFS in version 0.5.0 and 0.5.1. I have fixed it on the default branch but have yet to push out 0.5.2. I hope to do so on the train this evening.

In the mean time, if you are able to compile from source then you should find this issue fixed. If not, please let me know.

Regarding mounting using the vfs command, the syntax changed in 0.5.0: the database is no longer specified as the first argument (the error is because it's trying to mount at the database, not at the mount point). It now works the same way as the other commands:

tmsu -v vfs path/to/mountpoint

The -v produces verbose logging which is useful if there is an error. You could try this and see if you are getting the 'transaction already open' error that I fixed in the past few days or if you are getting a different error I need to look at.

Thanks,
Paul

(I'll leave this open until you have confirmed it's the same issue.)

Thanks for the quick and to-the-point response!

I confirm that I can see this panic now with the proper vfs command:

panic: could not begin transaction: there is already an open transaction

OK, this smells very much like the existing issue #28. If you can bear with me a day then I will push out a 0.5.2 with a fix for this otherwise you are more than welcome to compile from the sources and try that.

Sorry your first experience with TMSU has not been a positive one!

Please give the new v0.5.2 release a try. I would be very interested to know if this fixes this issue for you.

Works perfectly.. Thank you!

I'm having a similar issue with 0.6.0 when opening an empty tag folder. If I create a tag without tagging any files to it, opening it's folder with ls or thunar/nautilus will fail:

~$ tmsu mount ~/TMSU
~$ mkdir TMSU/tags/Empty
~$ ls TMSU/tags/Empty/
ls: cannot open directory 'TMSU/tags/Empty/': Software caused connection abort
~$ ls TMSU/tags
ls: cannot access 'TMSU/tags': Transport endpoint is not connected

The only way I've found to fix this is by unmounting with fusermount -uz and delete the tag with tmsu (deleting the mounted folder with rm will fail).

So far only empty directories are causing this issue, browsing tags with files does work fine.

Hi, thanks for raising this and sorry to hear you're having problems. However this issue is closed so this would be better in a new ticket, I think. That way I can assign it to a release and classify it, &c.

If you could raise a new one with the same text then that'd be better as you'll get notifications when it's fixed. If you've don't, I'll copy the text to a new issue later today.

Thanks,
Paul
