samba - Mar 2003 - 1 minute wait on a share / call_trans2qfsinfo takes 60 seconds

Hi 

I have a linux mdk 8.0 w/ custom 2.4.19-16 kernel, acls, quotas etc
I have a samba 2.2.7 serving several shares on LVs
everything's fine but with one share :

whenever a windows client accesses this share his file manager is locked
out for exactly one minute. this happens when the client requests the
directory listing (or when an automatic refresh takes place)

i can't see any reason why this share doesn't behave like other ones

here's a bit of a client log file (debug level 6) which shows that
smbd/trans2.c:call_trans2qfsinfo(1356) takes just 60 seconds (and everytime
it's called for that share)

i really need help !

TIA,

piece of log file

this problem is solved
it was NOT a samba problem

let's summarize :
a linux/samba server with several shares
with one (and only one) of these shares, each windows client clic on the
disk in the file manager was blocked for exactly one minute, whereas any
other shares answered immediately. that's why i focused on a samba problem.

after havind read trans2.c code i realized that the problem should occur at
a lower level

and yes, some basic fs commands were giving errors or taking minutes too
(df, mount...). this was due to a broken mount remaining from older days
(exactly, it was an mount.smbfs which worked for weeks, until the windows
server has been shutdown forever)

i just killed the mount.smbfs process (umount didn't work) and now all the
shares answer quickly

may this save time to somebody else one day...
