I've also exprienced this problem, although for a different reason. The problem seems to have been fixed in recent versions (3.3.x) of samba. See: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6090
I tested removing dangling symlinks using Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) as a server and that seems to work. As far as I understand, that should mean that moving them also works. As an aside: I am interested in this issue because I would like to pam_mount homedirs using cifs. firefox creates a lock file that is a dangling symlink. If the lock file cannot be removed, firefox cannot be started... ** Bug watch added: Samba Bugzilla #6090 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6090 -- cifs mounts: unable to move dangling symlinks (case of svn ceckout with symlinks) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117727 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
