Package: linux-source-2.6.15-4 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
# 1: This bug is easy to reproduce: try to run synaptic against a cache that is accessed via cifs. synaptic /or dpkg?/ would download multiple files in parallel - with kernel 2.6.15-4 this almost instantly locks your system until rebooted. The bug is not completely new: but in previous CIFS versions the "desaster" probability was far less (in 2.6.14 it rarely happend). # 2 (for information and to say something friendly about CIFS): The CIFS server side is less broken in 2.6.15-4 than in 2.6.14: CIFS still cannot handle the situation where a device gets unmounted while being accessed via CIFS (automounter). The improvement is that you no longer need to reboot the server - but it still hangs for a while filling the log with it's complaints until giving up. In 2.6.14 you always had to reboot the kernel in such a situation. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-4-sis Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
