From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: When mounting an NT4 network share using mount.cifs I can "touch" files but it gives me an error saying something like "touch: setting times of `test': Input/output error I then rm the file only to have it still listed when I do "ls". I then try and remove file again rm: remove regular empty file `test'? y rm: cannot remove `test': No such file or director Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.8-0.pre1.3 (kernel 2.6.9) mount.cifs 1.4/1.6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount.cifs /path/to/network/share /mountpoint -o "username=,password=" 2. touch /path/to/network/share/test 3. Actual Results: touch: setting times of `test': Input/output error Expected Results: nothing Additional info:
when creating the file with vim rather than touch, the file is successfully created and i can successfully remove it. It appears to only fail with certain editors
cifs is part of the kernel, not Samba, so I'm redirecting this to the correct maintainers. You might also have good luck contacting the upstream maintainers via the mailing list or bugzilla listed at: http://www.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html (Yes, samba.org kindly hosts the site, no that doesn't make it part of Samba.)
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update. It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005. If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug. There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only way to purge them. Thank you.
