There seems to be a problem in smbfs in 2.0.31pre9:
(The server is a plain Windows95 system).
If a file bbb exists, and you do 'echo whatever >bbb' you end
up with an empty file called bbb.
Same goes for vi autoexec.bat :-(
Here's what happens: (debugging enabled)
/home/gerrit/gateway/f> echo a >bbb
attr: 20
smb_proc_open: name=bbb
smb_proc_open: entry->access = 2
smb_receive: rcls=1, err=50
smb_receive: rcls=1, err=50
bash: bbb: I/O error
/home/gerrit/gateway/f>
I can't find error 50 in smbno.h.
I patched fs/smbfs/proc.c to ignore error 50, and it seems to work,
but it's kind of scary.
