[Samba] Invalid Argument ls dir mounted share

[Anderson Kopke]

Max,

 Please look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211070 

  "..Just to summarize - 
readdir (ls) will fail on cifs with 2.6.18-fc6, and similar fc5 versions for
directories which contain about 120 files or more (it depends on the length
of
the file names)

As Eric found (see above) the bug shows up because the Fedora kernel now
sets
the recommended i/o size on cifs inodes incorrectly (it was set based on
blkbits
which for cifs is 16K - .."

   Maybe it will help us.
