RHEL SMB client sends requests "SMB Read Request" which exceed the maximum limit of 60K
Issue
-
Microsoft support pointed out this incorrect behaviour of the Linux CIFS client:
- The SMB client (Linux) sends "SMB Read Request" which exceeds the maximum limit the File Server can accept of 60K:
14253 -- 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.1 SMB 129 Read AndX Request, FID: 0x8043, 81920 bytes at offset 7315456- No data transferred:
14259 -- 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.3 SMB 129 Read AndX Response, FID: 0x8043, 0 bytes
-
RHEL CIFS client does reads larger than 60k to Windows servers with
CAP_LARGE_READX
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (CIFS client)
- Windows (Samba server) supporting
CAP_LARGE_READX
(Registry keyHKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\disablelargeread)
