[Bug 2088085] [NEW] gio copy -p fails to report progress when source and destination are mounted NFS shares

[Steve Murphy]

Public bug reported:

Reporting against libglib2.0-bin as that package provides gio

Description:	Ubuntu 24.10
Release:	24.10

libglib2.0-bin:
Installed: 2.82.1-0ubuntu1


This issue was first noted on a Mint 22 Cinnamon install, and subsequently reproduced on Ubuntu 24.04.1 and Ubuntu 24.10. The issue is not present on Ubuntu 22.04 or Mint 21.x (tested with both LTS and HWE kernels)

Simply put gio copy -p fails to report progress when the source and
destination are both mounted NFS shares. If either the source or the
destination are local progress is reported as normal.

Shares are mounted with this line in /etc/fstab

92.168.1.70:/mnt/backup_drive /mnt/backup_drive     nfs defaults,nofail
0       0

"cat /proc/mounts | grep nfs" output is

"192.168.1.70:/mnt/backup_drive /mnt/backup_drive nfs4
rw,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=192.168.122.242,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.1.70
0 0"

My testing has been down with a server running Mint 22, nfs-kernel-
server/noble,now 1:2.6.4-3ubuntu5 amd64. Another user has reported the
same issue with the server running on Debian 12. As the bug appears to
be related to the client rather than the server we suspect this is a
client side bug.

This also translates to GUI File Managers failing to report progress for
copies instigated in the file manage. Issue reproduced with Nautilus in
Ubuntu 24.04 and 24.10, Nemo & Caja in Mint 22...
