Can you just skip the .gvfs items specifically, by name, with -prune?
man page on find -prune was not clear to me, but I tried all combos I
can think of, nothing works as I'd wish:
[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo find /users/tburns|wc -l
find: /users/tburns/.gvfs: Permission denied
8620
[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo find /users/tburns -name .gvfs -prune
find: /users/tburns/.gvfs: Permission denied
[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo find /users/tburns -prune -name .gvfs
[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo find /users/tburns \( -prune -name .gvfs \)
[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo find /users/tburns \( -name .gvfs -prune \)
find: /users/tburns/.gvfs: Permission denied
Note that without the -prune, over 8000 lines get output. No
combination including -prune ever generated a single line of non-error
output. Which means I don't understand what -prune is doing, or is
supposed to be doing. .gvfs is empty, so there should be lots of
output even if it got pruned.
And now that I've logged out & back in and .gvfs is mounted again, I
can test the other suggested workaround involving remount. This also
does not work for me, though I may be giving the wrong form of mount
command:
[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo mount -o remount -o exec -o suid -o rw /users/tburns/.gvfs
[tburns@cod ~]$ sudo find /users/tburns/.gvfs
find: /users/tburns/.gvfs: Permission denied
One of the side-effects of killing my gvfs process was that my
ssh-agent died, or at least stopped working. Otherwise I'd seriously
consider just killing it as the most elegant workaround.
Thanks for all the input.
-prune won't work, because as soon as find does a stat on the .gvfs
directory, the error gets spit out. It's just the way gvfs is
implemented. There's nothing you can do to prevent it. Sorry!
