Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the pointer to the upstream patch. This patch is already available in the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 kernel:

    [CIFS] Fix mtime on cp -p when file data cached but written out too late

If you could test Intrepid to verify this is fixed that would be great - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . You should be able to test using a LiveCD. Once this is verified to be resolved with the Intrepid kernel we can probably attempt to get this patch through the SRU process (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates) if you want it backported to Hardy. Thanks.
