[SOLVED] Value too large for defined data type in Geany over Samba

Some months ago Geany started to output an error whith every attempt to open a file mounted in smbfs/cifs.

The error was:

Value too large for defined data type

Now the error is solved thanks to a french user, Pierre, on Ubuntu's Launchpad:

The solution is to add this options to your smbfs/cifs mount options (in /etc/fstab for example):

,nounix,noserverino

It works on Arch Linux up-to-date (2009-12-02)

I've writed it on the ArchWiki too: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sam … leshooting
