[Bug 816663] Re: Failure to set permissions on Samba share via CIFS

 

Wil Clouser, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Failure to set permissions on Samba share via CIFS

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This bug is a clone of the automatically closed bug 496840.  Please
  see that bug for attachments, discussion, and comments.

  
  Binary package hint: samba

  I'm trying to use a samba share via CIFS and am encountering problems
  when trying to copy or move files onto the share. If I create a file
  directly on the share it works as expected (using my umask for
  permissions) but copying or moving result in errors. To reproduce:

  root@boris:/mnt# mount -t cifs //arctic/holding /mnt/testo -o credentials=/root/arctic.cifs.key,domain=Island,iocharset=utf8
  root@boris:/mnt# mkdir ~/z
  root@boris:/mnt# mv ~/z testo/
  mv: failed to preserve ownership for `testo/z': Permission denied
  mv: preserving permissions for `testo/z': Permission denied
  root@boris:/mnt# ls -ld testo/z
  drwx--S--- 2 clouserw root 0 2009-12-14 21:38 testo/z
  root@boris:/mnt# umask
  0022

  This looks _a lot_ like (and might be a duplicate/dependent on) debian
  bug 532153 ("cifs reports EACCES instead of EOPNOTSUPP for acls"
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=532153). It looks
  like that bug is still open though and I'm not sure what the progress
  is or if there is a workaround in the mean time.

  Neither my server or client have ACLs on their filesystem. One maybe
  relevent note is that mounting the same share from OS X and moving
  files onto it works as expected with permissions being preserved. OS X
  has a concept of ACLs on by default.

  I'm attaching an strace.
