Public bug reported: Samba SMB shares accessed from Windows or Mac OS don't work as expected when using tools like Git or npm (node package manager).
Expected: For example, Git clones to a folder mounted via SMB, as it did with previous ubuntu versions What happened: When using git clone in an smb mounted directory, git throws the following errors: warning: unable to unlink 'images': Directory not empty fatal: cannot create directory at 'images': Directory not empty The errors vary a bit every run (stops at different files/dirs) when extracting or doing other operations. Copying and writing from files via the file browser works without a problem. I could reproduce the error in the following environment with the latest updates applied: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (Ubuntu 5.4.0-51.56-generic 5.4.65) Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (Ubuntu 5.4.0-48.52-generic 5.4.60) Samba version 4.11.6-Ubuntu Clients: Windows 10 Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363, Mac OS 10.13.6 On a fresh install with Ubuntu 18.04 (Samba 4.7.6) and CentOS 7 (Samba 4.11) as SMB servers the error does NOT occur, with the same standard smb.conf. Also, setting the following options in smb.conf did NOT help: mangled names = Yes oplocks = False level2 oplocks = False I will happily provide any information/testing that is necessary.
