Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
I using my set-up with samba shares for 2-3 years and have never noticed this before. I assume it started just some weeks or months ago. I am using the following mount options on my Ubuntu 9.10 machine (the problem was already on 9.04, as I just upgraded a few days ago) mount.cifs ...... -o domain=<mydomain>,credentials=/home/$USER/.smbcredentials,nobrl,iocharset=utf8 The samba server is running on a Debian 5.0 xen-DomU with samba version 3.2.5. The xen-Dom0 is Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Linux xen-samba 2.6.24-24-xen #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 18:15:39 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux). I have not found any file corruptions on the shares yet. So I guess the cifsxxxx files are some sort of temp files. They do not do any harm except looking ugly and eating up filespace.
