Hi To All,

I think, I found the underlying problem and a workaround.

The problem is NOT with Quanta. What fail's is a call to stat()
in .../kdelibs-3.5.10/kate/part/katebuffer.cpp openFile().

There is a confirmed bug in stat() on cifs-mounted files.
See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51266

Strange thing is, I found no other reports than on a PHP site???

However, the workaround given there works:
"Adding cifs option "noserverino" solves the problem."

So I changed the line in /etc/fstab from:

//10.110.13.172/intranet$ /mnt/idefix/intranet cifs
credentials=/etc/samba/.credentials_for_idefix_intranet,rw,uid=gerhard,gid=users,dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0664 0 0  

to:

//10.110.13.172/intranet$ /mnt/idefix/intranet cifs
credentials=/etc/samba/.credentials_for_idefix_intranet,noserverino,rw,uid=gerhard,gid=users,dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0664 0 0  

Would be nice to here from you, if it worked for you too!
