[Bug 1325438] [NEW] Failed to get file from tftp-hpa with samba share

[Sam Su]

Public bug reported:

I have a tftp-hpa server installed under /var/lib/tftpboot.  I create a
subdirectory and using it to mount a samba share

sam at HostA:/var/lib/tftpboot/eco$ cat /etc/default/tftpd-hpa 
# /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

TFTP_USERNAME="ssu"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/var/lib/tftpboot"
TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69"
TFTP_OPTIONS="--create --secure"

sam at HostA:/var/lib/tftpboot$ ll
total 24
drwxr-xr-x   8 ssu  ssu  4096 Jun  1 11:23 ./
drwxr-xr-x  47 root root 4096 Jun  1 11:17 ../
drwxr-xr-x   2 ssu  ssu  4096 Jun  1 11:23 config/
drwxr-xr-x   2 ssu  ssu  4096 Jun  1 17:06 eco/
drwxr-xr-x  96 ssu  ssu     0 May 23 10:17 oak/
drwxr-xr-x   2 ssu  ssu  4096 Jun  1 11:23 pkg/
drwxrwxr-x+ 24 ssu  ssu     0 Jun  1 02:00 swap/
drwxr-xr-x   2 ssu  ssu  4096 Jun  1 11:23 tmp/

In which oak/ is mounted as "sudo mount //x.x.x.x/Images
/var/lib/tftpboot/oak/  -o user=ssu -o uid=ssu -o gid=ssu"

If I tftp get file from under oak/, it is always failed, but if I get
file from other directory, it will succeed.

This setup is working under Ubuntu 10.04 lts, but do not work under
12.04lts or 14.04lts

Any idea what happened?
