Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 shipped with SMB v3.02 and that's the only relevant part I can see what can be the cause that my CIFS mount stopped working properly. Problems showed up after upgrade from Windows 8 to 8.1. (SMB v3.0 -> v3.02) What use to be smooth user experience is now laggy. Copying 250KB or 1MB file with cp can take 60 seconds, consisting of multiple ~10 second pauses between reads. This applies to other commands as well, even to those that do not read too much data like "file". Sometimes I see weird errors from system (translated error message: "machine is down") in stdout or stderr. No idea where they come from. To make things difficult, sometimes the commands work ok, although I'm quite sure they used to be faster. No errors in syslog, even with CIFS debug output enabled. At least to my unexperienced eye. Any experiences with this? In case it matters, my fstab says: //server/share /mnt cifs user,noauto,soft,credentials=/path/to/credsfile,rw 0 0 Also probably worth noticing is that the Windows lives in a virtual machine and communicating via dedicated vmware private network (vmnet1).
