Hello,
I have the following not-so-nice effect with Linux 2.0.31: when
changing a file or creating a new file in an SMB-mounted Win-NT-
directory, the last-modified time gets a totally ramdom value. I've seen
dates in the range from 1904 to 2024! This makes the use of makefiles
impossible.
After switching back to Linux 2.0.29, things work correct again,
at least almost. With this kernel the whole system crashes sometimes, and
in no unique way. It seems that this happens mostly (only?) when two users
access SMB-mounted files at the same time. I don't know if this has been
fixed in 2.0.31 since that timestamp bug is much more severe.
Does anybody know something that could help me? I've seen that there
is a tool named `rumba' that could do the same jobs, even on other UNIXes.
How stable is that or does it have similar problems?
Regards,
- Stephan Niemz.
