Public bug reported: Ubuntu 17.10 appears to aggressively trigger Samba bug 10541 ( https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10541 ). Previous versions of Ubuntu worked fine, but 17.10 appears to request quota information on every write, resulting in a complete inability to write to files.
Remote Samba share is mounted as cifs as read-write, and has been working for years and many software releases. Unable to write/create files from bash, from GUI file browser, or even from a Windows VM with access to the mounted location. I haven't seen any scenario where Ubuntu 17.10 can write to the share. Server is running Samba 4.7.3 with a long-running good configuration. Every write request from my Ubuntu desktop results in the following server log: [2017/12/02 16:44:25.306674, 0] ../source3/lib/sysquotas.c:461(sys_get_quota) sys_path_to_bdev() failed for path [.]! There are no other log entries. The root bug appears to be in Samba, but recent changes to Ubuntu have triggered the bug in a way that breaks write functionality. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1735953 Title: samba mount fails to write To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1735953/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
