Title:
  loop device over samba breaks filesystem

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  I am using a loop device to rsync my home directory via samba to avoid
  problems with name/permissions incompatibility (for details see e.g.
  http://users.softlab.ece.ntua.gr/~ttsiod/backup.html). A recent samba
  install however seems to break the loop device. fsck yields:
  "BackupFile was not cleanly unmounted, check forced." as soon as a
  file is added/deleted and mount/rsync/umount is conducted.
