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

[Sam Liddicott]

I reject your confidentiality note.

Are you talking about Samba 4?

The timeout is a property of the transport, and you could set this from the vfs connect function, if it isn't already initialized from a config file.

Sorry I can't be more specfic but I have no source available right now.

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
