Hi, I am observing a reconnect loop with samba4. The problem is that the kernel opens the connection and initially sends an SMBecho packet. Samba4 however only accepts SMBnegprot as the first packet, thus it immediately closes the connection. The kernel immediately tries again. Regardless of whether it's acceptable to initially send an echo packet: shouldn't the kernel do some sort of rudimentary back-off? as it is I have logged 15 million reconnections since yesterday … -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- 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
