From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040808 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: I have a bunch of FC2 and 1 rawhide box connecting to a WinXP share. After 15-20 minutes, the rawhide box starts returning ls failures. The only way to fix is to unmount and remount the share. The FC2 boxes (samba-2.0.7-2.FC2) experience no such problem.

Connect to samba share 2. cd to share 3. wait 20 minutes 4. ls Actual Results: an error Expected Results: the directory contents listed Additional info:
I'll need the /etc/samba/smb.conf file from your client(s) and the command line you use to mount the share(s) to have any hope of reproducing this. If you're using smbfs, you probably need to change the component of this bug to "kernel", since Samba is not smbfs. Also, if you're using smbfs, try switching to cifs, which is newer, more reliable, and is much better maintained.
OK I'll use cifs, thanks.
