On Fedora, if you:

ls -le

this Mac hosted directory, what do you get? If the permissions are compatible 
with reading files (not just getting a listing of the directory) and you can 
write into the directory, then I wonder what happens if you use cp. Hang? Error?

Anything relevant in dmesg or messages/system.log on either machine?

Yeah. Maybe wait for 10.7.1, if history repeats itself it should be available 
really soon. If that doesn't fix it or you have to have SMB now, I agree with 
LuKreme to just install SAMBA3. 

Or alternatively wade through Netatalk (its configuration I found pretty 
straightforward, the performance is better than SMB between Linux and Mac OS, 
you get Time Machine support, and if you have all the Zeroconf stuff installed 
on Fedora you can get Mac OS Bonjour to see the Fedora AFP service and vice 
versa.

yum install nss-mdns avahi avahi-devel avahi-tools

I compiled the most recent beta of Netatalk rather than installing the older 
one available through the repo.
