In a dfs setup where the client transitions from a server which supports posix paths to a server which doesn't support posix paths, the flag CIFS_MOUNT_POSIX_PATHS is not reset. This leads to the wrong directory separator being used causing smb commands to fail. Consider the following case where a dfs share on a samba server points to a share on windows smb server. # mount -t cifs -o .. //vm140-31/dfsroot/testwin/ # ls -l /mnt; touch /mnt/a total 0 touch: cannot touch ‘/mnt/a’: No such file or directory Signed-off-by: Sachin Prabhu <sprabhu@xxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/cifs/connect.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/cifs/connect.c b/fs/cifs/connect.c index 8383d5e..a59370b 100644 --- a/fs/cifs/connect.c +++ b/fs/cifs/connect.c @@ -3461,6 +3461,8 @@ try_mount_again: else if (ses) cifs_put_smb_ses(ses); + cifs_sb->mnt_cifs_flags &= ~CIFS_MOUNT_POSIX_PATHS; + free_xid(xid); } #endif -- 2.4.3 -- 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
