'mount -t cifs' then 'ls /mnt' causes "soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck". Can't kill -9 nor init s, etc

@Ljosalfr

I found a way to solve my immediate problem of browsing shared Windows directories (AKA folders) from Linux. In Konqueror (which I have loved since KDE was in Beta) use ‘smb://username@host’. I knew there was an easy way to do this. I just couldn’t remember. It’s been years.

But I shouldn’t be able to crash the kernel with a few cli commands. So this is still an open issue.

I just experienced this issue , and posted as link below … never saw this post, but the Konq works great !!
