Any idea whether the Ubuntu kernel is the released 2.6.32 > kernel or any -rc version of 2.6.32? Just checked on a colleagues machine, and uname -r reports 2.6.32-24-generic Also checked the dmesg on the Ubuntu 10.04 box: [ 964.362027] CIFS VFS: Autodisabling the use of server inode numbers on \\shared.openbet\shared. This server doesn't seem to support them properly. Hardlinks will not be recognized on this mount. Consider mounting with the "noserverino" option to silence this message. [ 964.368470] CIFS VFS: server 10.194.0.105 of type Samba 3.0.28a returned unexpected error on SMB posix open, disabling posix open support. Check if server update available. The exact same errors that I get appear, which leads me to believe that this in itself is not the cause of my issue. Any other ideas to debug further?
