Update, links and workaround: This bug is still present on Jaunty 9.04 with the following versions: $ uname -srvm Linux 2.6.28-17-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 1 18:57:07 UTC 2009 i686 $ mount.cifs -V mount.cifs version: 1.12-3.3.2 $ dpkg -l coreutils ii coreutils 6.10-6ubuntu1 The GNU core utilities $ dpkg -l samba ii samba 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3.2 SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix
( remote Samba server is Debian version 3.0.24-6etch10 ) This bug seems to have been both a coreutils bug and a samba bug. However, both are supposed to be fixed now. See these: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6127 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8437 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6520 A workaround seems to be to disable unix extensions. I understand it can be done on the server side, but I do it only on the client side by using the "nounix" mount option ( mount -o nounix,... ). ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #6127 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6127 ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #8437 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8437 ** Bug watch added: Samba Bugzilla #6520 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6520 -- cp -p on CIFS mount does not preserve timestamp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/276472 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
