[New-bugs-announce] [issue1545] shutil fails when copying to NTFS in Linux

[ianaré]

New submission from ianaré:

When using shutil.copy2 or copytree where the source is on a filesystem
that has octal permissions (ie ext3) and the destination is on an NTFS
partition mounted rw, the operation fails with

OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted


I am attaching a version of shutil.py where this has been worked around
by calling copystat like so:

try:
    copystat(src, dst)
except OSError, (n, str):
    # can't change stats on NTFS partition even if
    # OS supports it
    if n == 1:
        pass
    else:
        raise Error, str
