[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#457942: smbfs: mount.cifs reports error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) when mounting multiple Windows shares

[Michael Weitzel]

Package: smbfs
Version: 3.0.24-6etch9
Severity: important

mount.cifs occasionally reports error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable)
when mounting multiple shares from a Windows Server 2003. The problem
typically occurs when an 'old' connection (i.e. at boot time, maybe a few days
old) to the server exists. The Windows 2003 Server is member of an AD. Shares
are mounted this way:

mount //xxx/xxx /mnt -t cifs -o ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,user=xxx,domain=xxx,pass=xxx

The error message can be circumvented by umounting all existing shares first
(umount -a -f cifs). The problem is not restricted to amd64 (also occurs on
i386 (i586)).

The following URL might give some relevant information:
