This was with kernel 2.6.19.1 SMP on x86_64, creating a tar file on a local
jfs filesystem (t is the source path on a cifs mount.)
Using 2.6.18.6-pre2 uniprocessor i386, with smbfs instead of cifs, everything
works fine so I'm pretty sure the server is OK.
Does this match any known problems?
In 2.6.20-rc1, some of these files have other files with the same name
in the same directory (modulo case). Perhaps this is confusing cifs.
Can you check where all of the files in your case share that property?
example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6]$ find net -iname ipt_tos.c
net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_TOS.c
net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_tos.c
[EMAIL PROTECTED] linux-2.6]$ find net -iname ipt_ecn.c
net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ECN.c
net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ecn.c

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to
panic.
