Type	Reason
InvalidOperationException	UnixFileSystemInfo.FullName doesn't exist. [Edit]

Remarks

Access to file system objects (as represented by Mono.Unix.UnixFileSystemInfo) is controlled by the file system access permissions, UnixFileSystemInfo.FileAccessPermissions. Mono.Unix.FileAccessPermissions is a nine-bit field specifying read, write, and execute access for the owner, group, and everyone else (other).

Access by the file's owner is controlled by the bits specified by (UnixFileSystemInfo.FileAccessPermissions & FileAccessPermissions.UserReadWriteExecute). The owner permissions supersede group permissions and other permissions, even if the owner belongs to the group.

Access by the file's owner group is controlled by the bits specified by (UnixFileSystemInfo.FileAccessPermissions & FileAccessPermissions.GroupReadWriteExecute). All group members get these access permissions. See also UnixFileSystemInfo.OwnerGroup.UnixGroupInfo.GetMembers.

All other users (users who are not the file's owner nor belonging to the file's owner group) get the file access permissions specified by (UnixFileSystemInfo.FileAccessPermissions & FileAccessPermissions.OtherReadWriteExecute).
