NTFS partitions do not have this problem.

Samba (may be unmappable due to POSIX to Windows lock model
differences but worth investigating). Also debug Samba to
see why lock test case 7 takes longer to complete to Samba
than to Windows.
-5) prepare_write does not initialize pages properly when partial
-page writes begin in the middle of a page (pages can get zeroed).
-6) Write caching done incorrectly when files are only opened
-with write permission by the application.
-7) Rename of files that are hardlinked does not work correctly e.g.
- ln source target
- mv source target
-This should be no op since files are linked but in cifs it causes
-the source file to go away. This may require implementation of
-the cifs POSIX extensions (Unix Extensions version 2) for

-(rather than ignoring it) so the client not knowing they
-are linked proceeds to delete the target and then retry the
-move which succeeds this time (but the source is gone).
Misc testing to do
==================
1) check out max path names and max path name components against various server
-types. Return max path name in stat -f information
+types. Try nested symlinks. Return max path name in stat -f information
2) Modify file portion of ltp so it can run against a mounted network
share and run it against cifs vfs.
