Graham Perrin replied on October 30, 2009 13:42 to the idea "Check for existing volumes named Wuala before NFS mount /Volumes/Wuala" in Wuala:

Just wondering (not chasing), was this progressed?

I vaguely recall seeing, occasionally, a volume named:

WualaDrive

StatusNet without the . dot
http://status.net/2009/08/28/laconica...

status.net is a site, not the network.

StatusNet implements the OpenMicroBlogging protocol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMicr...

Versioning: Yoono Desktop 1.1 is misrepresented as 1.0
Finder (Mac OS X 10.6.x) basic view of Yoono.app is
Version: 1.0

Finder | Get Info... view of the same application is
Version: Yoono Desktop 1.1
Graham Perrin replied on October 26, 2009 01:22 to the idea "Make a stand-alone Yoono application too." in Yoono:

Steering to Yoono.app 1.0 (Yoono Desktop 1.1) is good, thanks. Versioning is a little confusing, but that can be a separate topic.

Adding the word StatusNet to this topic, for search purposes ... still, http://support.yoono.com/yoono/search... does not find the topic.

Please, could the OP (or an administrator) edit the title of the topic to include the new name? Thanks.

Now, a restart of the OS is probably timely.

Problems with volumes in Mac OS X 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) after quitting Wuala then opting to ignore an issue with unmount/eject of the related volume
Later, trying to work with a disk image that included an HTML file and a preference pane, beach balls occurred (requiring force quit) in:

* System Preferences (when I aimed to install the pane)

* Safari (when I tried to read the HTML file)

* Finder (when I tried to eject the volume associated with that image).

Rough notes:

[macbookpro08-centrim:~] gjp22% mount
/dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
/dev/disk2s2 on /Users/gjp22 (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, nobrowse)
/dev/disk3s2 on /Volumes/VirtualBox (hfs, local, nodev, nosuid, journaled, noowners, mounted by gjp22)
localhost:/wuala on /Volumes/WualaDrive (nfs, nodev, nosuid, mounted by gjp22)
[macbookpro08-centrim:~] gjp22% ls /Volumes
VirtualBox WualaDrive speedy
[macbookpro08-centrim:~] gjp22% ls -l /Volumes

... no response

[macbookpro08-centrim:~] gjp22% sudo umount /Volumes/WualaDrive
Password:
^C

(no response, cancelled

[macbookpro08-centrim:~] gjp22% sudo umount -f /Volumes/WualaDrive
[macbookpro08-centrim:~] gjp22%

... success, but there seems to be an 'orphan':

[macbookpro08-centrim:~] gjp22% ls -l /Volumes/

... no problem, thankfully.

I'll tag this
resolved worksforme
and I'll try to not remove the related files for a year or so, just in case we need to refer to them if the symptoms reappear for me or anyone else.

Graham Perrin replied on October 08, 2009 13:33 to the problem "browser error 404 not found for a folder that does exist in Wuala.app" in Wuala:

Now, http://www.wuala.com/grahamperrin/pub... is found.

Suggestion

When items exist but are not found, can the service provide more meaningful error messages?

Graham Perrin reported a problem in Wuala on October 08, 2009 13:31:

Inexplicable (unlikely) drop in stated usage, coupled with 404 not found errors
The status bar of Wuala.app suggests that
0.26 GB of 1 GB is used by me.

In recent months whenever I have glanced at the status bar, it has shown something over 0.3 GB.

I can think of no way to explain the inconsistency.

Reading this inconsistency alongside http://gsfn.us/t/flfn
'browser error 404 not found for a folder that does exist in Wuala.app'
I wonder whether some data is present in my local cache but lost or missing from the cloud.

http://www.wuala.com/grahamperrin/pub...
(referred from http://gsfn.us/t/cxct ) is
404 not found

The same path viewed in Wuala.app confirms that the directory exists.

All three files therein are readable.

In Wuala at http://www.wuala.com/Diigo-4/973447 I double-clicked the file
003.pdf
then in Preview I added an annotation, then keyed
command-s
to save. No problem

A comment on the problem "coreservicesd dies following failure to save edition to files that are opened from within Wuala 165 on Mac OS X 10.6.1 (build 10B504)" in Wuala:

Sorry for the late follow-up on this.

Recently I haven't found time to happily risk the effects of the bug but I'll aim to re-test as soon as things are quieter for me.

In the meantime, some good news: I did once (only once) accidentally find an edited file saved back to Wuala without problem. Whether that file was edited using Apple Preview, I can't be sure. Probably was... – Graham Perrin, on October 07, 2009 16:29

Thanks.

Would you like me to mark this as resolved? Or tag it for review following a future update in (say) three months' time?

Postscript: sorry, I see at the head of the page

> The company has acknowledged this problem

— so I'll not mark it as resolved. Add a comment if you'd like me to review at any time in the future.
