Bug#494768: sendfile bails out with error
sendfile has a wrapper in libc, but I doubt that it does anything other than call the sendfile syscall. Maybe you used smbfs before and now use cifs? Smbfs was removed after 2.6.23 in Debian. Or your smb server changed its behaviour. The CIFS server is Solaris 10, Samba 3.0.28. It is definitely serving up CIFS as I had to manually upgrade the CIFS module on some older (Linux) clients to deal with a deficiency in the pre 1.50 CIFS kernel module. I patch the Sun box regularly, and the thought had occurred to me that a Sun patch was to blame, but there was no major version changes around the time that the breakage occurred. Looking at the bugfixes in each patch, nothing stood out that might indicate a change in the FS representation. -Chad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Stephan, I tried a few at random: linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-amd64 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.5 linux-image-2.6.25-1-amd64 2.6.25-1 linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 2.6.25-6 linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 2.6.25-7 and none of them resolved the problem.

Normally on snapshot.debian.net, but this seems to be incomplete lately. At least 2.6.25-1 is still at http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2008/04/29/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/ and you can find some 2.6.24 versions there, too. You could also try the 2.6.24 etchnhalf kernel that is in Debian etch and available on all Debian mirrors. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Chad, I think it would really be helpful if you could check exactly which kernel version worked.

reassign 494768 apache2 thanks The given strace shows that sendfile returns a proper error for the sendfile invocation (EOVERFLOW). apache must not ignore errors returned by syscalls.

This is not the issue here, apache works as documented. The point is that, according to the submitter, sendfile on CIFS used to work with older kernels but now gives an error.
