Hello, I have tested this setup on Ubuntu 14.04 using 3.13.0-32-generic and 3.19.0-28-generic with the same results (cifs-utils 6.0 in both cases). I have a CIFS mountpoint set up on the server with the following options: ro,relatime,vers=1.0,cache=strict,username=myusername,domain=EXAMPLE,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.1.4,unix,posixpaths,serverino,acl,rsize=1048576,wsize=65536,actimeo=1 0 0 I am then using rsync to sync data from the mountpoint to a local directory. Shortly after starting rsync, I see dmesg fill up with this message repeated hundreds of times: CIFS VFS: SMB response too short (9 bytes) At this point, if I watch the df output I see that no new data is being synced locally. If I strace the rsync process, this sometimes makes rsync continue syncing data for a minute or two, but eventually it stops again. Note that I encountered this same issue a few months ago using perl: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cifs/10640 What can I do to debug this? Is there a bug in the CIFS kernel driver?
