Hi, I think I spoke too soon. I removed 'noserverino' options from all my cifs mounts yesterday and u/remounted them. From last night syslog I can still find the "directory entry name would overflow frame end of buf" entries.
I have options like this in my fstab: //mercury/backups /mnt/backups cifs credentials=/etc/smbcredentials,uid=kari,gid=kari,_netdev,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0775,noperm,vers=3.0 0 0 Regards, Kari ________________________________ From: Kari Lempiäinen <kari.lempiai...@summerday.net> Sent: 17 April 2024 14:29 To: Salvatore Bonaccorso <car...@debian.org>; 1069...@bugs.debian.org <1069...@bugs.debian.org> Cc: Manfred Larcher <s...@grufo.com>; 1069...@bugs.debian.org <1069...@bugs.debian.org>; sub...@bugs.debian.org <sub...@bugs.debian.org> Subject: Re: Bug#1069102: linux-image-6.1.0-20-amd64 and cifs mount problem on some folders which get hidden on shares Hi, I can confirm that removing the 'noserverino' mount option fixed the problem for me.

Can you confirm you are seeing the issue only if mounting with using 'noserverino' mount option? Would you be in the position of building a kernel with a commit reverted and verify the issue is gone with it? If you follow https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-common-tasks.html#id-1.6.6.4 with the attached patch, you should be able to get a kernel image to test with. Regards, Salvatore
