My first post to the list, hope the community can help me, I
am having a problem with CIFS:VFS. I am trying to write large files (and a lot of files) from
my Cent OS 5.3 server to a remote Windows 2003 Server share. It appears there
might be some incompatibilities between how the two OS’s individually
implement CIFS, maybe. I automount the remote share via /etc/fstab and have the
/mnt/remotewinservershare built. Everything is setup and seems to work properly
but during the large file transfer (at intermittent times) the Linux Kernel
seems to panic and the CIFS connection seems to fail as a result since CIFS
happens at the Kernel level, returning errors. Although when I cd the
/mnt/remotewinservershare dir, or ls /mnt the mount is there is I can manually
cp to it with absolutely no problems. My /etc/fstab line is: //10.100.101.205/share /mnt/remotewinservershare
cifs username=MYUSER,pass=MYPASSWD 0 0 The CIFS errors returned are: WARNING: Kernel Errors Present CIFS VFS: Error -4 sending
data ...: 103 Time(s) CIFS VFS: Unexpected lookup error
-112 ...: 2 Time(s) CIFS VFS:
Error -4 sending data ...: 380 Time(s) I have seen in various online forums people have run into
this since 2004 and posts in 2007 have gone unanswered. Seems to be isolated to
Cent OS trying to CIFS to a Windows 2003 Server when transferring large or many
files (and does so intermittently). Has anyone has hit this before and been able to fix this
please share how you worked around it or fixed it. It is important for me to be
able to have a stable CIFS connection to this remote Windows Server 2003 server,
and we know we are not getting a look at the Windows kernel. Big Thanks LK |
