Hi,
I made a simple test with cifs in linux-2.6.31-rc1 to see if the so called
kmail-problem (cifs-user-homes are totally unusable for kmail-mail-cache)
still remains. Than I ran into a strange problem using "sed -i <command> <file-
on-cifs>". "sed" uses mkstemp libc-funktion and fails with EEXIST, writing
therefore tons of files onto the cifs-share.
You can reproduce it with:
strace mktemp -p . abcXXXXXX 2>&1 | more
giving
stat64(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
open("./abcUJcKWM", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
stat64(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
open("./abcUGJaiA", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
stat64(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
open("./abcWfKacs", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
stat64(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
open("./abcBaGjWM", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) = -1 EEXIST (File exists)
This is the same on 2.6.31-rc1-git6.
This is not the case in 2.6.26-2-vserver-686 (debian).
The Samba-Server is lenny with samba-enterprise:
kmux-fs:/# dpkg -l | grep samba
ii sernet-samba 3.3.6-24 a LanManager-like
file and printer server fo
ii sernet-samba-common 3.3.6-24 Samba common files
used by both the server a
ii sernet-samba-keyring 1.1 GnuPG archive
keys of the SerNet Samba archi
If I change Samba to the lenny-version
ii samba 2:3.2.5-4lenny6 a LanManager-like
file and printer server fo
ii samba-common 2:3.2.5-4lenny6 Samba common files
used by both the server a
the described test-case is fine.
