The Samba developers are pretty adamant that this isn't a bug in any version of their software. They place the blame for this problem squarely on the shoulders of Iomega, Zyxel, and anybody else who modified their code for their NAS boxes. The problem, apparently, is that newer versions of Samba hit servers with multiple requests at the same time, and for some reason the Zyxel and Iomega boxes can't handle this. The best solution they've come up with is to modify the smb.conf file on your server to include this setting: "max mux = 1".

See the screenshot. It pops up right at the end of the copy operation. This doesn't happen when copying the very same file using a different protocol. Neither does it happen when using another device to copy the very same file over SMB. It worked until the upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04.
