Should I just send this report to the Bugzilla then?
I was hoping someone could tell me where I could
find informative logs or something, so I could
write a better bug report.

I am experiencing data loss on a CIFS share
with Samba 3.6.3. I am running Debian Sid
on x86. I mount the share with the following
line in my fstab:
//server/share /mnt/share cifs
auto,users,rw,gid=50,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0777,domain=DOMAIN,credentials=/root/share.credentials
The user in the credential file is in the proper domain.
GID 50 is staff, which my user is a member of.
I can read and write to the share, but sometimes I
lose data. I can't figure out any pattern.
Just now, I downloaded a 2.4GB TAR file. It worked
perfectly. Then I go to extract the TAR, and about
25% of them are zero bytes.
$ du -hsc *
2.4GGSE14333_RAW.tar
0 GSM358341.CEL.gz
8.9MGSM358342.CEL.gz
9.0MGSM358343.CEL.gz
8.6MGSM358344.CEL.gz
0 GSM358345.CEL.gz
0 GSM358346.CEL.gz
8.7MGSM358347.CEL.gz
8.9MGSM358348.CEL.gz
0 GSM358349.CEL.gz
8.4MGSM358350.CEL.gz
8.7MGSM358351.CEL.gz
All these files should be 7-9M in size. TAR did not complain
at all when I untarred the files. It exited normally. I looked
in 'dmesg' and /var/log/samba for any errors, and didn't
find anything informative.
So, any thoughts as to what's going on? Random files are
simply missing for no apparent reason whatsoever. Can I provide
more information that will be useful? This is very disconcerting,
I'm lucky I was working with publically available files when
I discovered it.
