I'm running Samba 3.0.1 on a Linux 2.6.1 kernel and I'm seeing a problem
of the XP client missing an ack, the server having to resend, and then the
process repeats. This _ONLY_ happens when touching files in a
directory, such as clicking on an icon, then clicking on another one
causes this problem. If I drag the file and copy it across, I don't see
the problem. Here's a tcpdump trace:
22:03:29.843411 vampire.mydomain.com.microsoft-ds >
phantom.mydomain.com.1870: P 7548549:7548867(318) ack 61270 win 5840 (DF)

22:03:29.883965 vampire.mydomain.com.microsoft-ds >

Notice 4 second pause

This identical problem is happening on multiple clients, but it is not
happening with the same clients to a Solaris 9 server, just the Linux server.
Any thoughts?
