Bug Description

* Impact

If a share on a Windows file server (not a Samba server) is mounted and uses the SMB2 protocol, any attempt to copy or create a file for writing (e.g. using the cp or cat commands from the bash shell) on the mount point via FUSE will create a zero-length file but the open will return with an EINVAL error.

* Test case

- mount a sahre using smb2
- try to copy a file on the mount from e.g a command line

* Regression potential

Check that samba interactions keep working as they should

Hello Sebastien, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gvfs into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/1.36.1-0ubuntu1.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!
