[Samba] [solved] 1 minute wait on a share / call_trans2qfsinfo takes 60seconds

[Thierry ITTY]

this problem is solved
it was NOT a samba problem

let's summarize :
a linux/samba server with several shares
with one (and only one) of these shares, each windows client clic on the
disk in the file manager was blocked for exactly one minute, whereas any
other shares answered immediately. that's why i focused on a samba problem.

after havind read trans2.c code i realized that the problem should occur at
a lower level

and yes, some basic fs commands were giving errors or taking minutes too
(df, mount...). this was due to a broken mount remaining from older days
(exactly, it was an mount.smbfs which worked for weeks, until the windows
server has been shutdown forever)

i just killed the mount.smbfs process (umount didn't work) and now all the
shares answer quickly

may this save time to somebody else one day...
