I've been a samba user for a couple of decades with excellent results. However, recently I started experiencing an issue when trying to write a tar backup to a NAS device mounted as CIFS.
Research has shown that I am not alone yet a search on this forum has not turned up anything. Here are the symptoms:
tar is running on ubuntu server and as it writes the tarball to a CIFS mount it will regularly stall with a CIFS VFS ret -11 error. This utilized 100% of the CPU until I issue a ps -e command from the text console. At that time the disk LED resumes flashing and the tar completes.
This seems to happen almost every night.
So, does anyone have any ideas/suggestions to remedy this issue?
All comments/recommendations appreciated. Thanks
