my Cent OS 5.3 server to a remote Windows 2003 Server share. It appears there
might be some incompatibilities between how the two OS’s individually
implement CIFS, maybe. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

/mnt/remotewinservershare built. Everything is setup and seems to work properly
but during the large file transfer (at intermittent times) the Linux Kernel
seems to panic and the CIFS connection seems to fail as a result since CIFS
happens at the Kernel level, returning errors. Although when I cd the
/mnt/remotewinservershare dir, or ls /mnt the mount is there is I can manually
cp to it with absolutely no problems. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

please share how you worked around it or fixed it. It is important for me to be
able to have a stable CIFS connection to this remote Windows Server 2003 server,
and we know we are not getting a look at the Windows kernel. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
