#207715 — pi question

A Raspberry Pi 3B+ I'm working on, running last week's raspian stretch,
kept saying there was something it couldn't do (don't remember just
what, but there was a permissions problem).

A little looking around showed a directory called /run/user/1000/gvfs
with permissions == d?????????, owner == ?, and group == ?. That would
definitely cause a permissions problem.

I assumed the SD was corrupt and built a new one -- same thing.

I assumed my download was corrupt and got a new one (this week's
raspian) -- same thing.

I assumed something was corrupting the SD when I installed something, so
I built a new SD. Right after NOOBS finished upgrading things, I checked
the dir -- same thing.

On the Pi (3+, same last week's raspian, and lots of installs) acting as
a bridge from WiFi to Ethernet (working), there is no gvfs dir, and the
dir below /run/user is 0, not 1000.

I looked at the genuine Debian Buster install on the desktop across the
room, and /run/user/1000/gvfs was fine: drwx------, owned by me and my
group (a bit odd; I would have expected root).

There's a man page on gvfs, but I don't understand it. gvfs does things
I've never encountered.

FWIW, xfce4 is the desktop on everything (except the test right after
the NOOBS upgrade).

Anybody have any ideas?

That directory is not a "real" directory on a storage medium but a
virtual one created by gvfs via FUSE. Only the user with the user-id
"1000" (presumably the user called "pi") can see its contents and the
correct permissions.

Because it is based on FUSE even root can't get information from there.

Yes, there is no problem, everything is as it should be.

Thanks very much -- and pi is indeed user num 1000.

Very peculiar data around that dir, though. But what do I know...
