Samba client freeze during write

Asked by zorlax

Hello,
 My issue is that whenever I try to write new files (copy or move) to my file server something in the samba client freezes and I can't do anything samba until the system is rebooted.

To get write access I mount with uid ie "sudo mount //server/share /mountpoint -o user=write,uid=1000".

When this happens the server is still happily serving files to other machines.
If I just read files everything works fine.
If I connect from a windows client there is no issue.

Both client and server are running fully updated, as of posting, bionic.

Using 'dmesg -w' too see what's going on I can see that there is a general protection fault somehow related to cifsd. I am however unable to tell if it is relevant to my issue, from kern.log:

On a whim I decided to try with smb version specified instead of letting the server and client decide. When I mounted the share with "sudo mount //server/share /mountpoint -o user=write,uid=1000,vers=1.0" everything worked fine.

Mounting with "vers=1.0" sets the protocol, checked on server with "smbstatus", to "NT1". If I leave it out and let auto-negotiation take place the version is "SMB3_02". I tried with "vers=3.0" (SMB3_00) but that also cased a lock and I quite frankly didn't feel like testing SMB2.

It seems to me that if "cifsd" is handling the file transfers then it can't handle more than SMB v1 for writes.
The files I've been trying with have been fairly large, from 500MB to 10GB.

Cheers!

I'll bump this up to a bug.

I tried with Mint 18 Mate, on different hardware and got the same fault.
Tried SuSE leap 15 KDE on this machine and everything worked as expected.

Have run memtest, for a night, with no errors.

Can you help with this problem?
