It took a while to get into, mainly because I wanted to learn elisp and had to get a grip of the customization possibilites before realising the potential of this fine piece of software :-) However, I have quite a disturbing problem when it comes to editing files over a SMB/CIFS network mount. When trying to save a file that I have opened from a mounted share, I cannot save it using basic-save- buffer (C-x C-s or M-x basic-save-buffer). Emacs gives me this error: basic-save-buffer-2: Opening output file: no such file or directory, When i try saving using write-file (C-x C-w) instead, it works just fine. This is very disturbing since I have to specify the file name each time :-) If anyone has run into this problem and could give me some pointers on how to start debugging it I would be grateful! I'm running the following edition of Emacs: GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.1) of 2008-09-05 on yellow, modified by Ubuntu Best regards, Kim Christensen
