[linux-cifs-client] CIFS Input/output Error

[Thierry Delmot]

Hi Hari,

I encounter a problem similar to what you described today.

My observations:
- Occurs when trying to mount a share from a WinXP/SP1 server to a linux client being FC5 with 2.6.15 kernel, samba v3.0.23a.
- DOES NOT occurs when mounting a share from a WinXP/SP2 server to the same linux client.
- Share security rules are identical on the two servers.

It looks like Microsoft CIFS implementation changed a bit from SP1 to SP2 ?!?

I hope it helps.

BR,

Thierry Delmot

I take it nobody knows anything about this or has seen it before?
