[jcifs] jcifs.smb.SmbException: The system cannot find the path specified.

[jcifsatish]

yes, it is a bug that I should close the outputstream when there is an
exception. I'll change it.
But the other place where I am trying to create new file, ideally it is
executing only once. If the execution is success, it is coming out from the
loop. The idea for looping is just to check once again if the file system is
down or some issues happened with file system in case of any reasons. So
basically if the file creation is successful, it will come out of that at
first attempt. 
I am getting issue here could be, due to multi threading, the folder/file
could have been already created due to other thread process. But I do not
understand the meaning of "The system cannot find the path specified" error
message. Why is it showing this message in case of the file/folder has been
already created? 
I have seen your other posts for 'The system cannot find the path specified'
errors. You have mentioned that it is due to IP address conventions and it
has been resolved in new versions.. 
Can you suggest at which scenario ideally "The system cannot find the path
specified" error should come?

Thank you.
