Hello. I don't speak very well english, then I script you the bug ;) / = debian testing /mnt/smb = windows 2003 server. root@debian-testing:/# smbmount //windows2003serveur/share /mnt/smb -o uid=1000,username=myuser,password=mypass me@debian-testing:/$ cd /mnt/smb me@debian-testing:/mnt/smb$ ls t1.txt t2.txt me@debian-testing:/mnt/smb$ emacs t1.txt .......... start emacs commands ............. C-x i t2.txt C-x c .......... end emacs commands ............. here, I can't delete t2.txt !!! error message windows (in french): "Impossible de supprimer t2.txt : Cette ressource est utilisée par une autre personne ou un autre programme. Fermez les programmes susceptible d'utiliser le fichier et essayer à nouveau." I try to translate it : Not possible to delete t2.txt : This ressource is used by another user or another soft. Close all programs using this ressource and try again. root@debian-testing:/mnt/smb# umount /mnt/smb here, I can delete t2.txt. (I use other emacs functions without problems) It's an emacs bug, or a samba bug or other ? have fun, Xav.
It is an emacs bug. corrected in emacs CVS 24 October 2004.
