Hello. I am running Debian 7.2, and I get errors writing "large" (32.5KB) files to shares mounted via CIFS. Writing "small" files to the remote share works. I am not sure if its relevant, but this share is mounted over a slow pptp connection. Here are some of the details of what I am running: 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux The Kernel log contains the following data: [ 2243.047442] CIFS VFS: Server <IP_REMOVED> has not responded in 300 seconds.

A similar description can be found here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522867 That bug was marked as WONTFIX Was there ever a workaround or resolution for this bug? I am obviously not running software from 2009 (like in that bugzilla post), so I would have thought this would have been resolved. Could this bug be a regression?
