Public bug reported: Ubuntu 12.10 - same problem when acessing SMB shares from two computers same for shares both on Ubuntu 12.10 server, and a windows server.
Reproduce; it helps if you play a video/movie using vlc or mplayer from share. the file should be open for hours. (use pause) - when unpaused, the file will play fine. -no new big files on that share will open, small files may work. unmounting + remounting the SMB share may fixe the problem, but other processes may be affected: VLC - while stuck with such samba problem, is impossible to kill, same for smplayer sudo killall vlc -s KILL .. will not kill it. and so unmounting the share takes >10 attempts..
