I have a server from Network Appliances that I mount on my Xubuntu 8.10
via SAMBA or CIFS. Mounting a share from that server is ok, but when
changing to a directory below that mountpoint, the system quickly
crashes.
The directory in which one I change has some 250 directory entries. In
the few cases, where the system doesn't crash and where I can do an
"ls", the result only shows some 145 of the 250 directories.
As I told, the system normally freezes. It does this nearly every time
when entering "cd" followed by TAB (for bash completion). In that case,
nothing works any longer, not the mouse nor the keyboard. The system can
even not be pinged any longer.
I do not use any special mount options, just
mount.cifs //server/share /mnt/xxx
or
mount.smbfs ...
I can easily reproduce the problem on
- Ubuntu 8.10
- Xubuntu 8.10
- Debian Lenny (since I updated it 14 days ago; before that update, there was
no problem)
The problem does not appear on
- Ubuntu 8.04
- Debian Etch
There's no problem mounting a Samba share on a Linux server; the bug
only occurs when mounting a NetApp share.
I made my tests on 4 different PCs with the same results everywhere.
I saw a similar bug report with the number 296304. Although the server
there is a Wind98 oldtimer, the effects seem to be the same.
