I have my repository on a linux server and I'm trying to create a "git clone" on an NTFS samba mount. So for example:

$ git clone /www/git/amflex /mnt/NTFS80gigsamba/amflex
Could not rename the lock file?
Could not rename the lock file?
Could not rename the lock file?
Could not rename the lock file?
Initialized empty Git repository in /mnt/NTFS80gigsamba/amflex/.git/

  100% (156/156) done

  100% (58/58) done
Could not rename the lock file?
Could not rename the lock file?

This isn't permissions because I can manually create, rename, delete all the files on the samba mount, using the same login account, no problem.

fstab for the samba mount is:

//192.168.1.100/NTFS80gigsamba /mnt/NTFS80gigsamba user,auto,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,credentials=/etc/samba/auth.mike,uid=dmke 0 0
