I'm having that problem too. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 - Karmic Koala, all updated.
I do mount a samba share with this line in /etc/fstab: //192.168.0.17/www /media/svn cifs auto,iocharset=utf8,uid=xxx,gid=users,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0 version of mount: $ mount -V mount from util-linux-ng 2.16 (with libblkid and selinux support) I'm editing files with SciTE Version 1.76 Scite does control if a file has changed by regularly checking the "last changed" date. If all changes are saved and the file has changed, scite reloads ist. If the buffer is dirty (unsaved changes) scite asks if i wanna reload the file. This works perfectly on lokal drives. If working on the mount point mentioned above, scite does neither automatically reload clean buffers, nor ask me if i want to reload dirty buffers. If you need any additional information, just let me know. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- CIFS mount does not update file size for opened (for read) files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25031 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
