HOWTO fix error /tmp/.mount_identi* : Transport endpoint is not connected

[Rava]

thunar could no longer access the /tmp folder:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/tmp# ls -o /tmp/
/bin/ls: cannot access '/tmp/.mount_identi4fV4cB': Permission denied
[… other entries of no relevance to the topic …]
d?????????  ? ?           ?                ? .mount_identi4fV4cB
[…]
root@porteus:/tmp# stat .mount_identi4fV4cB 
stat: cannot statx '.mount_identi4fV4cB': Permission denied

I found the fix here:

fusermount -uz /data
[…]
The -z forces the unmount, which solved the need to reboot for me. You may need to do this as sudo depending on your setup.

I used my root terminal from the get-go and a simple

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/# fusermount -uz /tmp/.mount_identi4fV4cB

fixed the issue. The offending folder was no more an issue:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/# ls -ld /tmp/.mount_identi4fV4cB
drwx------ 2 guest users 40 2022-12-16 06:02 /tmp/.mount_identi4fV4cB

and could now be deleted:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/# rmdir /tmp/.mount_identi4fV4cB
root@porteus:/# ls -ld /tmp/.mount_identi4fV4cB
/bin/ls: cannot access '/tmp/.mount_identi4fV4cB': No such file or directory

Since now it was revealed the folder was owed by user guest group users I presume doing the fusermount -uz and the rmdir would have worked as guest.

And it happened again, this time Porteus 5.01.
Also XFCE, but not with Thunar since I mostly switched to nemo ( nemo_5.2.3_filemanager_bundle.xzm )

I forgot to look up this thread prior the

Code: Select all

root@rava:/# fusermount -uz /tmp/.mount_identiIhCPuG
root@rava:/# 

or I would have tested if guest can also do the fusermount -uz /tmp/.mount*
