For some strange reason, a samba setup which was previously working has suddenly stopped working, and I can't figure out why. The symptoms is that attempts to write some files onto a samba filesystem take a long time, and then error out with the error message (in Windows dialog box): "Cannot create or replace <filename>: The specified network resource or device is no longer

The FAQ says that we may have a networking (hardware?) problem, but according to the Linux box's ifconfig results, we have had no errors and no dropped packets on the internal network.
