Hi Moritz,

Thanks for reporting the problem. From the 1st glance It looks like a
problem with SMB leases - probably a server sent a lease break and the
client didn't ack it in a timely manner.

Could you please enable debugging logging
(https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_troubleshooting#Enabling_Debugging),
reproduce the problem and send us the kernel logs? A network capture
of a repro could also be useful
(https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_troubleshooting#Wire_Captures).
