Sorry for cross-posting - we run into serious
problem right before going BETA and guys
from *.smb, *.*.networking couldn't help so far.

Environment:
A few Linux diskless clients (2.0.30) and
Windows NT workstation 4.0.

Problem:
Everything works fine when one client smbmount's a
few shared dirs from NT. When two+ clients attempt to
mount same dirs at the same time only first succeeds, others
fail with smb_dont_katch_keepalive:server->data_ready==NULL
errmsg. Dir that fails mounting usually different from time
to time. If you wait a while and repeat mounting, dir mounts just fine.

So far I could relate above to the /usr/src/linux/fs/smbfs/sock.c:
smb_dont_katch_keepalive().

Questions:
1. What can cause that problem, timeouts, net congestion?
2. How to fix it :) ?

Thanks,

Pavel
