You probably want this: echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI echo 'module cifs +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control echo 'file fs/cifs/* +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control with CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG, CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG2, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled. > Any idea what might have been going on? Anything better tracing > options to determine what was going on? As you said it seems the server keeps reseting the tcp connexion. A full trace starting from the initial mount will help. You should be able to open a bug on either samba on the kernel bugtracker and attach traces there. Have you tried to mount using a newer protocol (2.1 or 3.0)? (using e.g. -o vers=2.1) Cheers, -- Aurélien Aptel / SUSE Labs Samba Team GPG: 1839 CB5F 9F5B FB9B AA97 8C99 03C8 A49B 521B D5D3 SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
