Comment 137 for bug 34813

My fstab already has this set as "smbfs" (not cifs), I already have the backup option unchecked, and this is still a problem for me (and has been on every Ubuntu installation I've ever had for the past five years). It ONLY happens with gedit, and ONLY when saving to a Samba filesystem.

The NAS (network attached storage device) that I use is a Data Robotics DroboFS Pro. I use it to store files collaboratively across five or six computers. On all other programs in Linux, as well as every program I use on Mac OSX and any version of Windows, my files are stored and retrieved just fscking fine. No problems.

So, when I hear people complaining about how this is a bug with Samba, CIFS, NFS, Windows architecture, NetBIOS protocols, the Linux kernel, underpants gnomes, whatever... I have to laugh, because this is clearly a gedit bug. One that has been active for OVER FIVE YEARS.

I'm going to implement my own solution going forward: I'll simply use a text editor that isn't total bullshit. But at any rate, maybe you guys might consider fixing the problem rather than trying to defer blame onto everyone else.

Here are some details. Hope they help.

Gedit version: 2.30.3

Ubuntu version: 10.04

Kernel version: 2.6.32-34-generic

Architecture: amd64
