[linux-cifs-client] CIFS VFS: server not responding

[Mars TSE Yiu Kei]

Hello,
 
I have a Linux server mounting to a share from Windows server.
 
Below is the /etc/fstab entry of the Linux server:
//150.110.27.228/ITSmonitor     /BT     cifs
ro,credentials=/etc/samba/security/BT.login     0 0
 
The problem is when the Windows server is busy, there is error relating
CIFS on /var/log/messages like:
Sep 13 00:30:25 server60 kernel:  CIFS VFS: server not responding
Sep 13 00:30:25 server60 kernel:  CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 mid
58515
Sep 13 00:30:25 server60 kernel:  CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 46 mid
58516
Sep 13 00:30:25 server60 kernel:  CIFS VFS: Send error in read = -11
Sep 13 00:31:25 server60 kernel:  CIFS VFS: server not responding
Sep 13 00:31:25 server60 kernel:  CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 46 mid
58560
Sep 13 00:31:25 server60 kernel:  CIFS VFS: Send error in read = -11
Sep 13 00:32:10 server60 kernel:  CIFS VFS: server not responding
Sep 13 00:32:10 server60 kernel:  CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 46 mid
58566
Sep 13 00:32:10 server60 kernel:  CIFS VFS: Send error in read = -11
 
I am trying to change the timeout value of CIFS but cannot find a way to
do it. Or you have a better idea of this problem, please share with me.
Thanks.
 
Regards,
Mars
