Hi!

I also encountered this error 12 accessing a shared folder on a Windows 7 Pro
SP1 64-bit "server", client being SystemRescueCd 3.0.0 with kernel version
3.2.28 32 bit. It also happens with other kernels (RipLinux 13.7, kernel 3.2.1).


I got the error when copying a single large file to the shared folder.
The registry tweaks at that URL mitigates the problem.
But I changed it back to do some research.
When accessing the same shared folder from a Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x64
client, there is no problem.

When I tried with Linux just before posting this, I got error 12 right when
mounting, before doing any file operations.

Is this because linux-cifs does not respect the MaxReq parm that the server
sends, as suggested in this post:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cifs/4294 ?

David
