Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 93043
[Samba] Saving to CIFS mounted disk fails on OS X
Last modified: 2013-01-29 21:42:44 UTC
I am having the same issue with both Beta 1 and Beta 2. On my system it appears to specifically be an issue with saving files off to my server. Reading and writing files off the local disk works fine. When I attempt to save files to my server, (whether brand new, or edits of pre-existing files), I got an error. My server uses CIFS and has the permissions set to 0700. The specific error I receive is: Error saving the document Untitled1: Error creating object. Could not create backup copy. Two things I'll note here: (1) The error message doesn't actually have the filename that I specified when saving. (2) OOo creates a zero-byte file in the specified save directory, with the correct name. I'd guess the permissions checking/setting logic has an issue, but I haven't looked at the code. Saving to the local disk works fine.
Framework issue.
Related to Issue 65002? Observable on OS X 10.5.5 Intel using DEV300m30 Build 9345 saving to a Windows 2003 share. (So far in my, limited, testing OOO300_m8 Aqua /seems/ better.) This can cause data corruption in the saved files.
