Linus had suggested hashing cifs inodes, which makes sense as related to
the problem that you reported. I have coded that and it tested out ok
today. If you have a chance could you try the patch at:

I applied it by hand to plain 2.6.7 (had some rejects) and it appears to
work. Thank you.
I just copied a 600Mb from my laptop to the server with no problems,
continued to work on my desktop with no visible effects.
Great work.
