Hi,

I hit the following problem: when initializing a repository on a cifs mount, attic hangs:

$ sudo attic init ~/Tmp/mnt/Dir1/dir2
Initializing repository at "/home/myuser/Tmp/Dir1/dir2"
Encryption NOT enabled.
Use the "--encryption=passphrase|keyfile" to enable encryption.

And it stays stuck like this. I left it even half an hour and nothig else happens after the "Use the..." line gets printed on the screen.

I can read/write with sudo the files from the ~/Tmp/mnt mount just fine. I can even backup files with attic from that mount.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.10. I've tried this with attic 0.13 from the official Ubuntu repository, and also with attic 0.14 installed with pip3.

The mount is created like this:

sudo mount -t cifs -o user=my-windows-user //lan-ip-address-of-win7-machine/d$ ~/Tmp/mnt

Please help.

Thanks,
Alin.

Edit: I had to correct a couple of commands because they were showing incorrectly.
