Here's my results. With filemode 3, all is well. With 5, errors:
Jan 15 21:34:10 linux kernel: smb_proc_readdir_long: name=\*, entries=0, rcls=2, err=1 Jan 15 21:34:10 linux kernel: smb_refill_dircache: readdir failed, result=-23
I tried 7 as well, and it looks ok. And Win95 still likes to hang up if there's no activity. Would it be feasible to automatically do a umount and remount if the connection is lost? Or a keepalive signal to the server? I'm not sure if Win95 lets you modify this "feature," but I'll look into it.
