Public bug reported:
I mount a Windows Share using mount.cifs. Everything works well
including editing and saving file with vi and OpenOffice. Using gedit,
I can create new files on the share and open existing ones. When I
modify an existing file and try to save the changes, however, I get a
“Unexpected Error: Text file busy”. Editing the same file with vi or
any other program works well. Using gedit I can edit any other file on
my computer including those on sftp mounts.
The same problem occurs with Nautilus: When I try to overwrite an
existing file on the network share, I am told “Error while renaming
temporary file: Text file busy”. I suspect the two errors have the same
root cause but I'm not sure in which package it might be. Also I am not
experienced in creating detailed logs for gedit or nautilus. Since my
syslog and my messages don't show any entries related to the problem, I
can't provide any detailed logs. I'll happily create a log of the
problem if someone points out how it's done, though :-)
