Asked by acornblue

tried creating a shared repo on /media/boxj. boxj is mounted with smbfs. i believe it is running win server 2010.

To me this doesn't look very bzr-specific, but just like you don't have access to that directory. What do these commands show?

  ls -ld /media/boxj/2010/repo/.bzr
  id
  touch /media/boxj/2010/repo/.bzr/test

Yes, it doesn't look very bzr specific. However, it is the only app that has this problem. A search of bzr bugs show others experiencing this error on sftp as well. I've also tried shortening the path/name, I've tried all lowercase/uppercase.

/media/boxj/2010/repo/.bzr$ ls -ld /media/boxj/2010/repo/.bzr

I wonder if this is due to us trying to set the mode as we create the directory?

How about running in that directory

  mkdir -m 0700 testdir2
  chmod 0770 testdir2

looks like you've found the issue. will it be possible to use bzr w/o chmod?

/media/boxj/2010/repo/.bzr$ mkdir -m 0700 testdir2
/media/boxj/2010/repo/.bzr$ chmod 0770 testdir2
chmod: changing permissions of `testdir2': Permission denied

also -m 0700 has no effect.
drwxr-xr-x 2 acorn acorn 0 2010-07-19 13:18 testdir2

there's no option for that at present, but it'd be reasonably easy to catch this and mkdir without chmod

Can you help with this problem?
