[linux-cifs-client] Re: cifs no write access

[Steven French]

The easy way to verify if this is simply a duplicate of the similar 
sounding already fixed problem - see if relaxing the permissions on the 
share and directory (to wide open - full control or equivalent) fixes it.  
The procedure varies a bit depending on server type.    Alternatively 
enabling debugging will get me 90% sure if the log shows that it fails on 
SMB NTCreateX

1) echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
     echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/traceSMB
2) try to open a file (touch /mnt/dir_name/file_name or "echo 1 > 
/mnt/dir_name/file_name")
3) send me the excerpt from the dmesg output (kernel message log info)

In any case I expect the merge of a more current version of cifs vfs which 
includes this fix along with about a dozen key bug fixes to happen before 
2.6.5
