I can confirm that shares work with kernel 2.6.25 from the intrepid repos. I still had to mount the shares with the "nounix" option. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ports/+bug/291487 if you need to compile kernel modules with the 2.6.25 kernel.
Downgrading the kernel and/or disabling UNIX extensions may not be an option for everybody. Any chance to get the patches mentioned in comment #26 into the repos? For completeness, here's the info from /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData (with kernel 2.6.25 on the client side): CIFS Version 1.52 Active VFS Requests: 0 Servers: 1) Name: x.x.x.x Domain: XXXXX Mounts: 2 OS: Unix NOS: Samba 3.0.24 Capability: 0x80f3fd SMB session status: 1 TCP status: 1 Local Users To Server: 1 SecMode: 0x3 Req On Wire: 0 MIDs: Shares: 1) \\servername\share Uses: 1 Type: NTFS DevInfo: 0x0 Attributes: 0x2b PathComponentMax: 255 Status: 1 type: 0 2) ... -- CIFS share broken after upgrade from 8.04 -> 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
