[Bug 491288] [NEW] File corruption after copying files via samba from Karmic to Karmic

[Ernst]

Public bug reported:

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.
