Git push to samba/cifs share fails

I get an error message when I try to push my git repository to a share mounted with mount.cifs.

[emanuel@faseri01 frog]$ sudo mount.cifs //windows2003/emanuel /mnt/e -o user=emanuel,uid=500 Password: [emanuel@faseri01 frog]$ mkdir /mnt/e/frog.git [emanuel@faseri01 frog]$ git init --bare /mnt/e/frog.git Initialized empty Git repository in /mnt/e/frog.git/ [emanuel@faseri01 frog]$ git push /mnt/e/frog.git/ master Counting objects: 18, done. Delta compression using up to 2 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (16/16), done. fatal: error when closing sha1 file: Bad file descriptor error: pack-objects died of signal 13 error: failed to push some refs to '/mnt/e/frog.git/' [emanuel@faseri01 frog]$ du -hs 67M . [emanuel@faseri01 frog]$ uname -a Linux faseri01 3.3.0-4.fc16.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 20 18:05:40 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [emanuel@faseri01 frog]$ git --version git version 1.7.7.6

This repository is 67M. I do not have any git hooks configured. Another, smaller repository works without errors if I follow the same procedure. The client is a fully up to date Fedora 16 machine. The server is a windows 2003 server.

Is this kind of usage possible with git? I just want to back up my repository to the fileserver.

Thank you for your time.

Kind Regards,
