[Samba] Invalid Argument ls dir mounted share

[Max Kipness]

Thanks for the reply. The Samba list is probably the hardest list to get an
answer from, it's very strange. 

Anyway, it's good to know I'm not the only one that noticed this. I'm
thinking I did not have this issue with prior versions of Fedora, but I'm
not positive. I'm wondering if it's a cifs bug. Hopefully someone that knows
more about this will reply.

Have you found any pattern to your problem? As far as contents of the
directory?

If I find a solution, I will be sure and let you know.

Thanks,
Max
