Package: linux-image-2.6.18-5-686 Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13 Severity: normal
We have seen the same problems that where reported here[1] and hit it mounting, copying and unmounting from windows server several times. Then we realise we can easily reproduce this looping on: PASSWD="xxx" mount -t cifs -o username=xxx,iocharset=utf8 //hercules/<share> /mnt/tmp/ umount /mnt/tmp We have only seen the oops using iocharset=utf8 and cifs And applying this patch [2] fix it too. So please consider applying it into the debian kernel, as it's a serious bug (causes an oops) and easy to trigger on samba (cifs) clients (since debian default encoding is utf8).
