samba - Dec 2004 - smb_trans2: invalid data

Hello everyone,

I have tried to solve out the 'smb_trans2: invalid data' by 'unix
extensions =
no' as it was written in one of the previous mails. Still I have a bad 
problem:

when I mount like this:

mount.smbfs //server/service /local_dir -o 
username=my_remote_login,uid=my_local_login,gid=users,rw

and then I try to copy a file to /local_dir as the user my_local_login, the 
file is copied ok but then it takes a looong time to go on (perhaps when 
changing the file's uid or attributes, or whatever...). Actually before I
set
'unix extensions = no', it took a long time even before any copying
(after
copying too). So now it became little better, but still quite unusable ;-)

Do I do something wrong, or is there a way how to solve this problem?

Thank you very much.

J.R.

hi,

i also have this problem

e.g.

"touch test" on smb FS ends with an timeout and error like "could
not
set time ... " although unix extensions is of

mounting with cifs does not show this behaviour
