Hi, Is there any chance that 74d290da476f672ad756634d12aa707375d3564d ([CIFS] Provide sane values for nlink) could be backported to the stable 3.2 kernel? The reason I ask is because if you Using a Debain Wheezy box with a 3.2.41-2+deb7u2 kernel the following is problematic: Mount a share using cifs from a Windows 2008 machine on to 2008share Use Samba 3.6 to export the share as //linux/2008share Using a Windows 2012 machine browse to \\linux\2008share because the directories will appear to be files to the Windows 2012 machine. On the Debian box doing stat 2008share/dir says Device: 18h/24d Inode: 844424932383132 Links: 1 Using a Fedora 20 box with a 3.13.3-201.fc20.x86_64 kernel to do the same says: Device: 27h/39d Inode: 844424932383132 Links: 2 In https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52791#c4 Jeff mentions that if there were demand a RHEL 6 customer could ask for a backport so it looks like the change is isolated enough to be put into stable... https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9346 also talks about the issue. -- Sitsofe | http://sucs.org/~sits/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
