We need to understand what the problem is. The strace shows this: write(2, "cvs [update aborted]: cannot get"..., 78cvs [update aborted]: cannot get working directory: No such file or directory) = 78 ...but I don't see any system calls that returned -ENOENT. Maybe it occurred in another thread or something? So I'm a little unclear as to what cvs is complaining about. It's quite possible that it's ultimately a bug in cifs, but without more info I really can't guess as to what the problem is. What we really need is a description of the problem couched in terms of the system call interface. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
