Comment 1 Jeff Layton 2009-04-02 20:42:31 UTC 
There was a bug in posix open / create calls that JRA and I discovered at Connectathon this year. I'm preparing to add patches to CIFS in RHEL5.4 to make it use POSIX open calls.

When CIFS does this and the server is broken, it pops a printk:

CIFS VFS: server 10.10.10.10 of type Samba  3.0.33-3.7.el5 returned unexpected error on SMB posix open, disabling posix open support. Check if server update available.

...obviously it would be good if 5.4's samba didn't cause this to pop.

I'll see if I can find the commit...

    Fix bug in processing of open modes in POSIX open.
    Was missing case of "If file exists open. If file doesn't exist error."
    Damn damn damn. CIFSFS client will have to have fallback cases
    for this error for a long time.
    Jeremy.
