An urgent workaround is required here for a user using a shared development environment. For this, I will provide a modified image where shutil._setxattrs
does nothing. It is a possibility for shutil
if extended attributes are not supported by system. I will just change the test for this image. This will be in a casa-dev-5.3-17-neurospin.sif
image. If it works and Neurospin users report the same kind of problems, we may have to do the same for user images.
I actually encountered and fixed a similar issue in https://github.com/brainvisa/brainvisa-spm/commit/d67cf36007504b57eff484e66e55fa22c8af6acd.
A less drastic way of fixing the issue is to replace shutil.move(src,dst)
by shutil.move(src, dst, copy_function=shutil.copyfile)
when we do not need to copy file metadata (mode, mtime, xattrs...).
Maybe we should add some functions to soma-base
that reimplement shutil.move
, shutil.copy
, shutil.copy2
, but ignore PermissionError
s that occur during the copy of file metadata?
This is the case on several file systems used in Neurospin. The use of
os.setxattrs
raises apermission denied
exception. Butshutil
functions that move files are calling it making BrainVISA being unusable.
