I noticed that there are five or six places (mostly in smb2inode.c) where calls to a compounded open no long pass the CREATE_OPEN_BACKUP_INTENT flag - I am fixing the most important one now (in smb2_query_info) but probably should fix the ones for compounded mkdir/rmdir/unlink/setinfo as well ... Typical missing code is the following: smb2ops.c-if (backup_cred(cifs_sb)) smb2ops.c: create_options = CREATE_OPEN_BACKUP_INTENT; smb2ops.c-else smb2ops.c- create_options = 0; Thoughts? -- Thanks, Steve
