Hi all,

I'm using a compiled SAMBA 4.1.17, but I've also tested it 
with SAMBA 4.2.0. CIFS server is running Ubuntu 14.04LTS.

When I'm using a mount (with cifs-utils) on a client which runs Ubuntu 
14.10 a simple "cp" of, for example a text file, results in the content of 
the file, including A LOT OF (infinite) zero's at the end of this copied 
file. Actually, the "cp"-command doesn't end, it keeps on adding "0"'s at 
the end of the file until you CTRL+BREAK the copy. This only happens if I 
copy *from* the CIFS share to the local filesystem.

- From an Ubuntu 14.04LTS and a Linux Mint client everything is working 
fine. Does anyone here have experienced the same with Ubuntu 14.10?
