First: this is my first post on this list so any suggestions, let me know. I recently had to make the move from SMBFS to CIFS when I upgraded from Fedora 4 to 5. Changing settings in my /etc/fstab was easy and no errors come up but now I'm having an issue very similar to post I found on your list that got no response back in April:
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-April/119813.html Just as he describes in his second point, while editing a file from a CIFS mounted share, something is confusing vim as to the timestamp of the file and it thinks that the file has changed since my last writing. My first write always works without a warning but all subsequent writes produce the warning. I can guarantee that I am in fact the only person editing this file This occurs regardless of what OS owns the share. I'm experiencing the same situation on mounted shares from a Windows 2003 server as well another Linux server running Fedora 5 as well. This leads me to believe it's more a client-side issue than improperly configured shares. To a further point, I attempted to alter the date/time on the Windows 2003 server to both before and after the date/time on my client machine w/ no change in situation. I've encountered some Vim discussions/documentation alluding to an issue on Windows relating to daylight savings but, again, since this appears to be happening regardless of server OS, I've again weeded that out as a cause. This issue never occurred while using SMBFS so I can only attribute it to the new, forced, use of CIFS. Likewise, I'm hesitant to blame vim as I'm not having this problem on local files or files mounted through NFS or other means. Here's a run-down of my specs if it helps: OS: Fedora Core 5 Linux Kernel version: 2.6.17 (from 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 RPM) Samba version: 3.0.23b (from samba.org provided RPMs) /etc/fstab: //SERVER/SHARE /PATHTO/MOUNTPOINT cifs auto,setuids,user=XXX,password=XXX,gid=celston,uid=celston,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0664 0 0 As I mentioned, the only post I found through some Google searching was the one from above. If this has been covered before, I apologize. I appreciate any feedback.
