Description:
After the samba update, i am unable to browse my samba shares. I opened this thread (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=300462#p300462) in the forums and there are more people experiencing the same problem.

As seen in pacman.log:
[2007-11-16 15:55] updating smbclient (3.0.26a-2 -> 3.0.27A-1)
[2007-11-16 15:55] updating samba (3.0.26a-4 -> 3.0.27A-1)

I have tried two machines to access it, a ubuntu and a windows one.
The ubuntu one would mount it all right, but when you try browsing it it gives an 'Input/output error', these are the last lines found in /var/log/messages file:
Nov 16 19:42:06 Naboo kernel: [ 855.043000] SMB connection re-established (-5)

Nov 16 19:43:05 Naboo kernel: [ 913.648000] SMB connection re-established (-5)

The windows machine would actually show the files in the shared directory but after a very long wait. Browsing and reading files was taking such a long time that windows seemed like frozen so i had to restart.


Additional info:
* package version(s) : samba 3.0.27A-1
* config and/or log files etc.

Works fine here with smbclient 3.0.27A-1 and GnomeVFS (no samba server installed).

for me it works too to mount a local directory with mount.cifs

Yes, it works for me too with mount.cifs, but still, i guess the bug is still there with samba...
