When using a mounted SMBFS I experience very slow write times. Writing a file to a mounted Samba share from the client will take 30 seconds. In the logs of the client Gentoo machine trying to write to the share I see... smb_refresh_inode: samba_share/test changed mode, 0100660 to 0040770 smb_delete_dentry: bad inode, unhashing samba_share/test smb_trans2: invalid data, disp=0, cnt=0, tot=0, ofs=0 smb_add_request: request [d398fea0, mid=9535] timed out! The Gentoo machine running Samba shows no corresponding errors. If I instead use Nautilus and connect using the smb:// command everything works at normal speed with no errors. I have also checked access to my Samba server from WinXP and it is working fine too. This is a new problem, Samba has worked a long time before this without a hitch. I am using CK kernel sources 2.6.10-ck2 on the client with SMBFS compiled into the kernel. The server side is running Samba 3.0.7 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount Samba share 2. time touch samba_share/test 3. Actual Results: Output at the command line on client: time touch samba_share/test touch: setting times of `public/Pictures/test': Input/output error real 0m29.998s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.002s From kern.log on client side: smb_refresh_inode: samba_share/test changed mode, 0100660 to 0040770 smb_delete_dentry: bad inode, unhashing samba_share/test smb_trans2: invalid data, disp=0, cnt=0, tot=0, ofs=0 smb_add_request: request [d398fea0, mid=9535] timed out! Nothing in logs on server side.
Since you note "This is a new problem, Samba has worked a long time before this without a hitch." What did you change between it working and it not been right? kernel? samba?
Looking at the symptoms I'd say it's a kernel problem, and in all likelihood a duplicate one at that. Check bug #72968.
