>Description:
Using samba to share files from an ext2fs file system crashes the samba process responsible for the session. The samba daemon continues to run and handle subsequent connection requests, but the ext2fs mount is unreadable from a client machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Mount an ext2fs file system
Create a samba share pointing to some directory on the ext2fs file system
Access the share from anywhere (local or remote client, using smbclient or the KDE share manager)
Either files won't be accessible immediately or after a short while

Shares created from UFS2 file systems work as expected on same machine
>Fix:
Unknown at this time. Searches of mailing lists reveal similar problems with qtthumbs, but samba is not mentioned and no work around has been discovered.
