The thread I saw on opensolaris is here http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=139077&tstart=0
But the description is below. I can't speak to why you don't see this problem with build 134, but I believe it's covered by 7012679 Configurable bypass for vcnumber zero which is fixed in build 162. The problem is that when a client makes a connection to what it thinks is a new server, the first thing that it does is to tell the server to shut down any previous connections from that client, presumably to clean up anything that might be left over from before a crash. In this case, that mechanism kills the connection that was using the other alias. It appears that Microsoft has realized that this is a problem with the definition of the protocol, and has suggested a workaround: that there be a configuration option that causes the server to ignore this special cleanup request. We've implemented that workaround. >From my perspective here deep in Development and far from the product delivery process, I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea when or how a build with this fix in place might be made available. -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Ross [mailto:gordon.w.r...@gmail.com] Sent: 21 October 2011 03:54 To: Discussion list for OpenIndiana Subject: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] CIFS Alias/Multiple connections Oh! I might have a guess what this is - but your captures will verify. You can also turn on debug logging. I think you may see that the "vc==0" feature is causing the new connection to kill the prior ones.
