Hi guys,
I did a 2.6.x kernel upgrade on our sarge stable webserver for added gigabit support and am running into an issue with one particular Samba mount point that is on an AS/400.
The mount point stays up for a bit but eventually dies with the error 'smb_setup_bcc: Packet too large ...' and then the mount point dies with an i/o error.
I'm a little worried as a Google on this error shows postings regarding 2.6 kernels, Samba and this error going all the way back to 2004 without mention of a fix.
My feeling from what I've read seems to lead me to the conclusion that they may have stopped supporting older file systems / smb technologies like those found on our AS/400 (circa. 1997)
Granted that it IS old hardware but I've got 6 Linux servers that need to get data from this thing (scheduled to be replaced in the next year or so) so I've suspended kernel updates for the time being.
Has anyone else run into this issue?
