While we're on the samba topic...
Authored by: tcurtin on Feb 25, '03 02:37:05PM

Does anyone know if Apple fixed the finder-hang when servers (like samba, ftp, etc) suddenly disappear due to dropped or changed network connection? While I've put off upgrading to 10.2.4, this problem continues to ruin my day on a regular basis, and if 10.2.4 fixes it, that alone will make the download worth the time.

This is still a problem in 10.2.4.

Yes and no. The Finder will hand, but after 2-3 minutes, it will time out and show you an error message. You just have to wait. Now, the question is, how do you change the timeout period to something more reasonable, like 45 seconds. Or better yet, don't tie up the Finder with just the reconnect task. DUH, it's a multi-threaded, multi-tasking OS.
