Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gvfs
Client: Ubuntu 9.10
Server: Ubuntu 9.04
On the rare occassion for some reason when gvfs needs to write/copy a
file to a Samba share it gives the error 'Success' but the file is never
actually written. This has happened to me and a colleague a couple of
times but there is no exact procedure that will reproduce the error
100%, it just happens when it happens.
Originally it was discovered by opening a file in gedit over smb, then
saving the file, which gedit would then give the error. I thought it was
a problem with gedit, but when I copied the problem file to my machine
via nautilus, changed it, then copied it back via nautilus, nautilus
would then produce the same error.
It seems that when this happens to a file, other files on the exact same
samba share in the same directory are perfectly ok. A workaround seems
to be unmounting the the smb share from the client machine then
reconnecting it again.
