Hi
I think I hit the cifs bug described at
http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares
and
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1776
As CentOS Wiki said, CentOS 5.0 do have a bug fixed cifs.ko, so I thought it
should be in CentOSPlus repository ... so I upgrade my kernel and using
2.6.18-8.1.10.el5.centos.plus. After I use this kernel release, I
check the cifs.ko
and see the following:
$ modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.10.el5.centos.plus/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko
filename:
/lib/modules/2.6.18-8.1.10.el5.centos.plus/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko
version: 1.45

depends:

parm: cifs_max_pending:Simultaneous requests to server.
Default: 50 Range: 2 to 256 (int)
The cifs.ko is version 1.45 .... I think this is still the buggy
version, right ???
I have two CentOS 5.0 boxes, both running 2.6.18-8.1.10.el5.centos.plus and
using automounter to mount WinXP's share. I use this as part of my daily
backup ... and both boxes crash quite often ... specially when I have
large files
cross cifs mounted filesystem using rsync.
For small files, they are quite stable.
Could someone tell me ... did I use the bug fixed cifs.ko ? Or how
can I fix this
problem ? Thanks
Regards
KC
