Hello, I believe the fix below does not work in all cases. I continue to get this error:
"Could not save the file /media/directory_name/pezarro/t...save_error_workaround.txt Unexpected error: Text file busy" Here are the details for the cifs mount: //filer_name/filer_folder /media/directory_name cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,workgroup=MyWorkGroup,uid=1000,gid=100 1,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,rw I am running Ubuntu 8.10. If migrating to Ubuntu 9.4 was thought to remedy my trouble, I would certainly try it. I quite like gedit and it would be nice to be able to use it error free with my cifs mount. Another workaround is to use a different text editor such as Gvim.
