I can confirm the fix too.

@Skokie Thanks very much for this tip. That's sorted me out nicely. I've contacted D-Link regarding a firmware fix for this issue and received the following reply: A firmware is being develop, we don't have an ETA or upgrades that it will have, i invite you to go to forums.dlink.com, you can post and get updated information by product managers on new releases. So a genuine fix is on the way, just no idea when. Looking at the frequency with which firmware upgrades have been release in the past I'd hope it's not too long before it arrives. Many thanks to all who responded. -- Access to samba 3.0.24-3.0.25 shares using CIFS is broken on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

So to summarize your summary, if you don't have any control over the server - which was running fine with the 8.04 client - you're stuffed! I don't understand how a bug in the server is causing something that works under 8.04 to stop working under 8.10, and I really can't understand why fixing this doesn't seem to be an urgent issue. It wasn't the introduction of anything new on the server side that caused this problem to arise, it was an update to the client - or am I still missing something? Regards, mipper Just to summarize again: 1) A few versions of Samba server had a bug parsing DFS paths (fixed in Samba server 3.0.26). You can see which version of server you have mounted to by doing cat /proc/fs/cifs/Debug Data on the client). When the Linux CIFS client added support for DFS last year, those few (relatively old) versions of Samba servers (when configured for DFS) exhibited problems with certain path based calls (setting the file size was one) which can break some common applications. 2) Although disabling the cifs unix extensions (mount option nounix) may help in some cases, the best solution is to upgrade the Samba server to any of the more recent versions of the server. If that is not possible, disabling DFS support (see comment 50) in the server is another possibility (on future kernels, 2.6.28 includes this e.g., you will be able to specify nodfs as a mount option on the client to workaround the problems on these two versions of Samba). -- Access to samba 3.0.24-3.0.25 shares using CIFS is broken on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Thanks for the clarification, Thierry. I am, alas, in the last position, so am very interested in knowing when the new kernel will be published. I can't find any target dates on this bug report and it's the lack of any visibility on when the fix might be released that's so frustrating. How does one find out when the release will be. Regards, mipper 2008/12/1 Thierry Carrez [EMAIL PROTECTED] mipper: This is a bug about servers claiming they support something that they don't. If client stuff makes use of that something and trust servers to properly implement what they claim they do, it doesn't work. It happens that the client stuff in Intrepid takes advantage of those advanced features, while the client stuff in hardy didn't. The fix: Fix your server by upgrading to a non-affected version. However, we understand that the server might not be easily upgradable. For example it might be a closed NAS box with a sucky warranty. For those few stuck with buggy servers, we provide the following workarounds: - If you have access to the samba configuration on the server, you can add msdfs root = no in smb.conf - If you have no access whatsoever to the server, a new kernel providing a nodfs client-side mount option is being published. You will be able to use that option to turn off the advanced features in the client stuff for Intrepid. -- Access to samba 3.0.24-3.0.25 shares using CIFS is broken on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286828 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Access to samba 3.0.24-3.0.25 shares using CIFS is broken on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

Forgive my ignorance here, but I can see that there appears to have been a fix committed for this bug, but I can't see when or how it's going to be released. This is an absolute show stopper bug as far as I can see, so how and when can I get a fix for it? -- Access to samba 3.0.24-3.0.25 shares using CIFS is broken on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
