Hello lkml!
I'm currently stressing 2.6.19-rc5-mm1 with heavy network I/O and got some
error messages. The error happens when I try to copy a 100MB file from my
local box to a remote linux samba server. Small files seem to work.
I have all extended and experimental CIFS features turned on in my .config

I was hitting this under 2.6.19-rc5-mm1 as well:

I get that one even without "heavy stressing" - just doing a CIFS mount of
a share from our NetApp and trying to copy a file onto it will trigger
this variant. 'cat /etc/motd >> /mnt/server/my_dir/foo' triggers it.
(changing the shell redirect to '1<>/mnt/server/my_dir/foo' solves THIS one,
and creates the second flavor:

Happens every time you close a file after writing anything other than an
exact multiple of 4K.
Some quick testing indicates that this works properly under -rc5-mm2 (in fact,
I didn't report it against -mm1 because when I discovered it the other day, I
already knew -mm2 was out...)
