Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure via mcc>network sharing> access webdav (etc) Dest URL: http://vargas.calenco.com:8284/workspaces/Documentation/content/en Local URL: /mnt/calenco-webdav enter username and password.

I think this is maybe due to the symlinks in /usr/sbin We actually have /usr/sbin/mount.davfs but the mount type is davfs2 /usr/sbin/mount.davfs2 is linked to /usr/sbin/mount.davfs
Priority: Normal => High
I didn't explore links - I expect this type utility to work out of the box. It works/worked as expected on Ubuntu 7.04, 9.10, 10.10, OpenSUSE 11.1, Linux Mint, Novels SLES-10-sp3 and Fedora 11 (all in VMs)

Actually the problem is not in a webdav share being mountable by a user vs. mountable by root, but the mount was always read-only, and even Camille didn't know why that was the case. Didn't matter if we used the mageia-packaged davfs2 or if we built it from source.

A feasible, and effective solution to the following: rm-f /usr/sbin/mount.davfs2 rm-f /usr/sbin/umount.davfs2 rm-f /sbin/mount.davfs2 rm-f /sbin/umount.davfs2 ln-s /usr/sbin/mount.davfs /sbin/ ln-s /usr/sbin/umount.davfs /sbin/

(In reply to comment #7) > Created attachment 2371 [details] > davfs2.spec patch > > webdav access - davfs2.spec patch Thanks a lot, Mészáros! Unfortunately, we do not have a maintainer for davfs2 If you have enough time, could you please consider becoming a Mageia packager? https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager If you're already a Mandriva packager (I don't know), this should go really fast.
This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- Mageia Bugsquad
Still valid for Mageia 2, has anyone tested with cauldron recently?
Version: 1 => 2
Fixed with new webdav support in Calenco 2.6 :) It is now perfectly possible to save changes to our Calenco space, using webdav. Thanks Camille!
