[Bug 1312362] Re: Can't copy a file from SMB share to the local file system: Software caused connection abort

[Horne]

The Samba developers are pretty adamant that this isn't a bug in any
version of their software. They place the blame for this problem
squarely on the shoulders of Iomega, Zyxel, and anybody else who
modified their code for their NAS boxes. The problem, apparently, is
that newer versions of Samba hit servers with multiple requests at the
same time, and for some reason the Zyxel and Iomega boxes can't handle
this.  The best solution they've come up with is to modify the smb.conf
file on your server to include this setting: "max mux = 1".

Title:
  Can't copy a file from SMB share to the local file system: Software
  caused connection abort

Status in Samba:
  Fix Released
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The error reported is "Software caused connection abort". See the
  screenshot.

  It pops up right at the end of the copy operation. This doesn't happen
  when copying the very same file using a different protocol. Neither
  does it happen when using another device to copy the very same file
  over SMB.

  It worked until the upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04.
