** Description changed: Ubuntu 11.10 I've noticed an anomaly when running a program that creates a small number of output files on a CIFS network share. One of the output files - contains a long string of ^@ (ASCII NULL). The other lines appear to be - normal, but there aren't as many as expected (6 instead of 1,000). + appears to be corrupted: the first line contains a long string of ^@ + (ASCII NULL), followed by the expected data (tab-delimited numeric + values). The other lines appear to be normal, but there aren't as many + as expected (6 instead of 1,000). - Interestingly, if I run the program with the top 100 attributes, I see - no issues. But if I run with the top 1000, the odd ^@ characters - appear. + Interestingly, if I run the program with the top 100 attributes, + resulting in an output file with 100 lines, I see no issues. But if I + run with the top 1,000 (output file with 1,000 lines), the odd ^@ + characters appear. If I run the same program and save the output files to the local drive, the aforementioned file is "valid": no ^@ characters and the correct number of lines. This leads me to believe that it has something to do with the CIFS-mounted network share. The share is mounted via CIFS from our NAS, a Sun Storage 7110. Note: we've recently upgraded our servers to 11.10, and were previously running 10.04. This issue wasn't present in 10.04. One of our desktops is running 11.04, and this issue doesn't manifest itself there either (same program, input data, writing to the network share). It only occurs on servers/desktops running 11.10.
