Weird problems with Samba in RHEL4


Hi, folks!

I recently forced to upgrade my systems from RHEL3 to RHEL4, due to new software requirements, and now I'm having some weird problems with Samba:

1) When I mount Windows shares using smbmount, I can write to a share normally, but if this share contains many files (I still don't know exactly how many files) and I try to list them (using ls or find, for example) the system hangs completely, with no errors displayed or written to logs.

2) Searching on Internet, I read that SMBFS on RHEL4 is a little buggish, and the right way to mount Windows shares is using CIFS. I tried to mount the same shares using mount.cifs and was mounted ok, but when I try to write something, I receive "Input/Output error". When I try to list the files, I receive "CIFS VFS: No task to wake, unknown frame rcvd!".

I choose to use RHEL at my company expecting stability and working packages, but now it seems I was wrong...

Thanks in advance!

The first thing to do is to check Red Hat's Bugzilla system for your CIFS problem. If there is a bug report there may be a reply indicating when an update will be released. If there isn't a bug report then file one . Duplicate bug reports are better than none, so if you can't find a relevent report, then do create your own. At worst the package maintainer will just mark your report as a duplicate of an existing one, and note the relevant bug number.
