Hopefully I am submitting this to the correct email list.  I have been 
doing Google searches and haven't found anyone that has the same string 
in their log file, so I'm looking for help on this issue.

Recently I lost my hard drive and had to reinstall Debian.  I am now 
getting these errors in /var/log/syslog and I can't figure out why:
Apr 28 11:57:05 rockenfield kernel: [1479867.192022] CIFS VFS: Server 
peart has not responded in 300 seconds. Reconnecting...

The weird thing is that there are no problems.  I can view the shares on 
the remote Windows machine (peart is WinXP 64 SP2) with no problems 
whatsoever.  Also my Windows machine can see my samba shares as well, so 
both directions work fine and I'm not sure why these messages are occurring.


Here is my /etc/fstab (samba/cifs mounts only, trimmed to applicable 
content):
//peart/mp3  /mnt/peart/mp3 cifs 
defaults,credentials=/etc/samba/smbpass.peart,_netdev 0 0

I am running Debian wheezy/testing (7.0).  The kernel version is 
2.6.38-2-amd64.  Samba version is 3.5.8~dfsg-1 (obtained from "dpkg -l | 
grep samba").  This is just a home network, so I don't have a Domain 
Controller or anything fancy.  It's just a Debian box and a WinXP box 
and I'm sharing files/directories on each side.

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
