+Bugfix: Fix directory sync errors related repositories accessed via SMB
+
+On Linux and macOS accessing a repository via a SMB/CIFS mount resulted in
+restic failing to save the lock file:
+
+Save(<lock/071fe833f0>) returned error, retrying after 552.330144ms: sync /repo/locks: no such file or directory
+Save(<lock/bf789d7343>) returned error, retrying after 552.330144ms: sync /repo/locks: invalid argument
+
+This has been fixed by ignoring these error codes.
