Shouldn't that be "wont' fix" instead of "invalid" ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351536
Title: files on read-only win98 shares can't be opened on Hardy using cifs Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Hardy: Invalid Bug description: It looks like Hardy can't open files on Windows 98 shares when they are shared for read only. Steps to reproduce : - Create a read-only share a folder on Win98 host. - on Hardy, as root : - mount -t cifs //WINHOST/SHARENAME /mnt/ -o dir_mode=0700,file_mode=0700,guest,servern=WINHOST - cat /mnt/some_test.txt => you get an error message - I got either "permission denied" from my production server, or "host is down" from my workstation. Workaround : Make the share read-writeable in Windows 98. This was observed on both the server and desktop kernels. This seems fixed in Intrepid, but as a LTS release Hardy would benefit from a fix. Possible fix : a forum entry for a similar problem on another distro points to this change in the newer upstream kernels, which might be a cure: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfrench/cifs-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=35fc37d5175091c36d034a28c057da0f9594ee7e FYI : # lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 8.04.2 Release: 8.04 # apt-cache policy smbfs linux-server smbfs: Installé : 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.7 Candidat : 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.7 Table de version : *** 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.7 0 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4 0 500 http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/main Packages 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://10.0.0.178 hardy/main Packages 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages linux-server: Installé : 2.6.24.23.25 Candidat : 2.6.24.23.25 Table de version : *** 2.6.24.23.25 0 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/restricted Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.6.24.22.24 0 500 http://security.ubuntu.com hardy-security/restricted Packages 2.6.24.16.18 0 500 http://10.0.0.178 hardy/restricted Packages 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/restricted Packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/351536/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
