| |
At work I use cifs for accessing a windows server. This has worked fine for a long time, up to and including Debian's 2.6.38-2.
I just installed Debians's 2.6.39-1, and had to give up on it. Mounting CIFS works, and I can see the files. But if I try to make a new file (with cp), I get a long delay.
In this time, anything accessing CIFS will pause, including "ls". CIFS eventually becomes unstuck, and I will find that my "ls" succeeded, but the file copy did not. The file was created, but with 0 size.
Trying to copy the file again results in another stall, and so on.
When I mount CIFS, I get this message: CIFS VFS: Unexpected SMB signature
This happens with 2.6.38 as well as 2.6.39.
When writes fail in 2.6.39, I also get: CIFS VFS: Send error in Close = -512
Followed by: CIFS VFS: Server servername has not responded in 300 seconds. Reconnecting...
I have also seen CIFS VFS: Send error in Close = -512 and CIFS VFS: Send error in read = -13
