Likewise:

Situation:

I'm seeing lots (~500k per day) of log entries like:
smbd[13939]: itlab-pc06 (::ffff:10.51.51.103) couldn't find service it261

In this case, the last character of the request is truncated - it should be
it2610

I'm seeing the same/similar issue to

And

I've dismissed this over the last few weeks as a minor inconvenience, but
I'm now convinced that it's affecting the performance of the Windows client
machines that are connecting to it - a 30 second operation on local disk,
takes upwards of 5 mins over a network connection, generating thousands of
entries similar to the above.
