From 066fcb06d3e27c258bc229bb688ced2b16daa6c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve French Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2007 00:45:08 +0000 Subject: [CIFS] Allow reset of file to ATTR_NORMAL when archive bit not set When a file had a dos attribute of 0x1 (readonly - but dos attribute of archive was not set) - doing chmod 0777 or equivalent would try to set a dos attribute of 0 (which some servers ignore) rather than ATTR_NORMAL (0x20) which most servers accept. Does not affect servers which support the CIFS Unix Extensions.
