Problems copying files via SMB from Linux Mint

[DD4711]

Hello,

I'm using SMB for network file access but do have massive problems with copying data from FreeNAS over SMB from my Linux Mint.

My system setup:

• FreeNAS Storage encrypted
• no special SMB Service settings (SMB v1 not active)
• Client PC is a Linux Mint
• fstab entry: //fserver_name/share_name /.../share_name cifs credentials=/.../.cred,uid=1026,gid=1000,vers=3.0 0 0

When trying to copy files from a FreeNAS share to a FreeNAS share or to my Mint PC the copy task stops sometimes nearly immediately. The copy window shows e.g. "copying 1 of 20 files" but nothing happens, sometimes one or more files are copied, mostly it stops after first file. Nothing happens after that. I need to stop nemo process on my Mint to exit this copy job.

When it stops on a specific amount of data it stops always I try it, so it is reproducible. When copy job ends up successful I can also reproduce this successful copy job again.

I do not have those problems on a Windows Machine!

Could there be a problem with my fstab entry? I have no idea where to search for the problem :( and appreciate any help.

Were you able to resolve this? If not, have you tried using an SMB client on Mint?

Unfortunately not. I still have this problem. That's very strange.

I'm currently testing little bit. On a FreeNAS volume I have 5 files, first 4 files will copy to my Mint w/o problems. The fifth file always hangs.
-> I have no problems copying file 1-5 via nemo explorer and "connect to Server"-option (sftp://root@freenas/)

Edit:
Tried with dolphin: no problems
Tried with Pcmanfm: same problems

Edit2:
On a second Mint PC same problems

Im out of ideas :(

seems to be a Linunx MInt problem (maybe in context with FreeNAS).

-> cp, mv using command line does not have this problem, there must be a problem in nemo file manager

OK, found a workaround.

I found a thread regarding that problem: https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/1683

It looks like it's a kernel problem. So I installed as mentioned Kernel 4.13.16-041316-generic for Linux Mint 19.1. Problems are gone. Hope it will be fixed soon...
