[Pkg-samba-maint] segfault with Samba automount

[Sam Nazarko]

Hello Mathieu,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Unfortunately the issue is not always easily reproducible, but I have been told it occurs more prominently when transferring small files. Here is the Samba configuration [1], and some error output [2].

Please let us know what we need from our users to debug this further. 

Cheers,

Sam Nazarko

I don't have much time currently to investigate.

Can you post your smb.conf here? Particularly the [automount template] section.

FYI. Our jessie changes are tracked in git:
