Package: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7 Version: 2.6.17-8 Severity: normal
Hi all, I am running a FreeBSD NFS server (5.4-RELEASE) sharing $HOME and some other directories to my Debian Linux clients. Since kernel version 2.6.16 (so up to 2.6.15 everything works like expected) I have the following problem: When editing a file located on the NFS server, for example a text file using vi, and that file belongs to another user but is group-writeable (bits 77X), I get the error message "Operation not permitted." when trying to save and the size of that file changes to 0 bytes (very dangerous !). What does work is something like "echo bla >> file/on/nfsshare/test.txt", so appending data to an existing file using redirect. After trying to edit that file again using vi it ends up again in the above error messages and the file size changes back to 0 bytes. I can reproduce this behaviour with kernel 2.6.16, .17 and .18-rc7. With 2.6.8 (from Sarge) - and I also tested 2.6.14 and 2.6.15 - it works flawless. Let me know if you need any further details. Kind regards, Joerg. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7 depends on: ii module-init-tools 3.2.2-3 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii yaird [linux-initramfs-tool] 0.0.12-18 Yet Another mkInitRD Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/abort-install-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/initrd-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.17-2-k7: false shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/already-running-this-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.17-2-k7: false linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.17-2-k7: true linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.17-2-k7: linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.17-2-k7: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
