Title: CIFS kernel bug crashes system Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: smbfs Symptoms: My system has been freezing frequently the last few days, requiring hard reset each time. There is no apparent pattern to what I am doing when the freeze occurs; it has even happened while I am away from my desk. kern.log shows a recurring bug (about every 10 minutes) in cifs (cifs_dfs_ref.c:274). System: Ubuntu 8.10, all packages up to date. Diagnostics: Unmounting cifs mounts did not fix the problem. Reinstalling all samba-related packages did not fix the problem. Uninstalling all samba-related packages appears to have fixed it; it hasn't recurred for ~30 minutes now. Excerpts from ker.log are attached.
