I would have to say no, since you're using smbfs instead of CIFS. But, these entries were in the change log of the 2.6.16.60-0.31 kernels: * Mon Sep 15 2008 - [email protected] - patches.fixes/cifs-fix-O_APPEND-on-directio-mounts: Fixed context to apply correctly. * Mon Sep 15 2008 - [email protected] - patches.fixes/cifs-fix-O_APPEND-on-directio-mounts: cifs: fix O_APPEND on directio mounts (bnc#425998). That looks like the fix IBM is talking about. The RPM was built on October 8th of this year.
