[linux-cifs-client] Numerous "CIFS VFS: Send error" messages in 2.6.25.3

[Gautam Iyer]

Hi All,

I was using "mount -t smbfs" on Linux-2.6.23 for a long time with no
problems. When I recently upgraded to CIFS + Linux-2.6.25, I ran into a
few issues.

My Samba server is a Vantec networked hard disk. I mount it via

    mount -t cifs //andurin/PUBLIC /tmp/andurin -o nounix,guest

Now I can copy / move files just fine. But when I try and do something
fancy, I get numerous errors. Usually at this point my log file is
clutter with numerous CIFS VFS error messages. A few of the log lines
are:

    May 12 18:56:04 mordor CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -28, wrote 0
    May 12 18:56:04 mordor CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 47 mid 67
    May 12 18:56:04 mordor CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -11, wrote 0
    May 12 18:56:04 mordor CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -11, wrote -511544036
    May 12 18:56:04 mordor CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -28, wrote 0
    May 12 18:56:04 mordor CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -11, wrote -511544036
    May 12 18:56:04 mordor CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -28, wrote 0
    May 12 18:56:04 mordor CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 47 mid 78

Again, everything (seems) to work fine for simple file operations (cp
-R, mv, rm, head, tail). The operations that mess up are things like
mke2fs, zpool create, rsync on really large and similar directory trees.

My NAS server is working fine since I can access it file from my wifes
MAC. But again, the Mac only does simple file operations (cp, rm,
generating thumbnails).

Would you know what's going on? Or what I can do to work around this
problem?

Thanks,

GI
