[Bug 117727] Re: cifs mounts: unable to move dangling symlinks (case of svn ceckout with symlinks)

[Marcerino]

I've also exprienced this problem, although for a different reason. The problem seems to have been fixed in recent versions (3.3.x) of samba. See:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6090

I tested removing dangling symlinks using Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) as
a server and that seems to work. As far as I understand, that should
mean that moving them also works.

As an aside: I am interested in this issue because I would like to
pam_mount homedirs using cifs. firefox creates a lock file that is a
dangling symlink. If the lock file cannot be removed, firefox cannot be
started...
