Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
This doesn't affect me directly but I maintain OpenOffice.org for Ubuntu. It appears after getting numerous reports that OOo does not save properly to cifs mounted filesystems that the cause is due to the fact the 'nobrl' option is not being used. The root cause of this bug may be a problem in OOo itself but according to the man page of mount.cifs it sounds like it would probably be a good idea to use this option in any case. nobrl Do not send byte range lock requests to the server. This is necessary for certain applications that break with cifs style mandatory byte range locks (and most cifs servers do not yet support requesting advisory byte range locks). Some of the OOo bugs, I may have missed some, are bug 486443, and bug 578402. Also upstream bug http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=93957 among 10 other cifs related bugs, probably all caused by lack of nobrl.
