Title:
  File corruption after copying files via samba from Karmic to Karmic

Status in Samba:
  Fix Released
Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  Yesterday, I tried to copy flac files from my laptop (Ubuntu Karmic,
  32-bit, running ext4 but source files are on ntfs) to my desktop
  (Ubuntu Karmic, 32-bit, running ext4 but destination was on ntfs) via
  samba. I mounted the samba share of my desktop on my latop and started
  the copy process on the laptop.

  After this, I tried to play the files on my desktop. However, I got
  errors from Exaile: the stream was not correct. So, I used foobar to
  test the File integrity of the files, and in almost all files, it
  found errors. I checked on my laptop, and those errors did not exist
  on the files on the laptop.

  So, I tried to copy them again using samba, but with the same result.
  foobar's File Integrity test even give exactly the same errors for the
  files (see the attached error log).

  Then, I copied the files using a USB stick and this time, foobar
  reported al was ok.

  So, I think this is a bug in the samba package, as copying over samba did not work and an USB stick worked fine.
  I think I should give more info, but I don't know what to report.

  $ apt-cache policy samba
