Running an 'ls' or 'ls -l' to a folder accessed via a cifs mount point takes a long time to respond with the list of files. The folder in this instance had approx 8000 files. <br />
<br />
The same command on Redhat 5.X accessing the same files across a cifs mount point takes only a few seconds.<br />
<br />
If you strace the 'ls' e.g. "strace -c filepath..." it returns very quickly i.e. it does not call lstat or getxattr (see strace extract in additional info).<br />

I believe this is associated with a bug discovered back in Feburary, reference this link: <a href="http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2012-02/msg00006.html">http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2012-02/msg00006.html</a> [<a href="http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2012-02/msg00006.html" target="_blank">^</a>] which appears to describe the exact problem I am experiencing.
