Hi Steven,

This is the right place, and you've found what looks like a
real problem I haven't seen before.  Validation is good, right? :-)

We have had trouble in the past with large numbers of shares, and
we're not done with the work to address it yet.  I wondered about
the start method timing out, but that timeout is an hour, and
you're seeing 5 minutes.

I would try to get things stable with just one share in dfstab;
you do have to have at least one for the server to not disable
itself.  If you can get the server functional and then add
shares, we can see if the problem returns and see if it's about
scale.  If you just can't get going at all, it's a different
problem.
