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

[Mars TSE Yiu Kei]

I'm not using Samba 4. I only install samba-client-3.0.25b-0.4E.6.
 
Here is output of /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData

	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
