Just to follow up here: this current problem seems to be associated with CIFS's byte-range locking, which behaves in unexpected ways. If i use the "nobrl" option during the CIFS mount, i can cleanly use sqlite (this comes at the cost of not having advisory locks propagate across the network, though, so it is probably not an acceptable workaround to every situation).
I reported the bug against debian's smbfs package, if you want to follow it there: http://bugs.debian.org/483507 -- cannot use sqlite3 on cifs mount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117730 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
