Bug#285696: kernel-patch-debian-2.6.9: smbfs problem in 2.6.9-3: cannot write to files

[Itay Ben-Yaacov <nib_maps@yahoo.com>]

Package: kernel-patch-debian-2.6.9
Version: 2.6.9-3
Severity: normal


Hi,

The smbfs patches introduced in 2.6.9-3 cause the following funny
phenomenon: I can create and erase files, but not write to them.
More specifically, if I do "echo xxx > yyy" in an smbfs filesystem, it
blocks, and after ctrl-C I see that an empty file yyy has been
created.

Any idea?

Thanks,
Itay
