I have tried to further investigate the problem leading to a system freeze on connection to a remote cifs share. On one occasion I was able to take a screen shot. Unfortunately, my mail with the attached screen shot (100 kb) did not make it to the bts or the list. (Is there a prefered way of handling this?) On another occasion I found the excerpts in syslog, that are attached. I'm not sure if this is really relevant, though, since I could not reproduce the syslog entries or the on screen output of the panic. I am told that the remote system that kills my debian box on connection is running a Netapp 6070 with Data OnTAP 7.2.4 (what ever that is). As far as I could tell, the problem does not occur, if the remote system is accessed with the fuse tools (kde konqueror). Unfortunately, these lack some of the functionality I require (synchronisation with unison or rsync). I don't know how to proceed from here. I could try to capture and post a trace of the network traffic leading to the kernel crash, if that is considered useful. I'm not sure if that has any security relevance (system freeze on connecting to remote computer).
