I have the same problem in Oracle Linux 5 and 6; CentOS 5 and 6 and in RedHat 5
Here is how to reporoduce the error /etc/fstab //192.168.1.100/Oracle /mnt/Oracle cifs username=orcl,password=orcl 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs defaults 0 0 When you save a file to /mnt/Oracle or /mnt/sda1, gedit immediately wants you to reload it. If you reload, you lost your ability of undo any changes prior to the save, if you don't do what gedit wants, you may end up with an empty file "Save Anyway" But if you save the file to any Linux partition such /u01/app/oracle... gedit works fine -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34813 Title: gedit fails to save files over smbfs/cifs Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome: Confirmed Status in SambaServer: Invalid Status in SSHFS Mounter: Confirmed Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gedit” package in CentOS: New Bug description: Saving files over a cifs/smbfs server doesnt work. You can open file, edit then save perfectly. But repeated saves after give you this error: "The file /home/dhonn/website/arrays.php has been modified since reading it. If you save it, all the external changes could be lost. Save it anyway?" The think is lying to me because I havent made any external changes. When I click "Save Anyway", i get this error: "Could not save the file /home/dhonn/website/arrays.php." But on the third try it works just fine. Here are the error messages, btw there are also GUI glitches too: http://dhonn.com/images/gedit-0.jpg http://dhonn.com/images/gedit-1.jpg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/34813/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
