[Samba] Timeout problem

[Maged Mikaeel]

Hi,   We have a problem with our Linux and samba units. We mount remote windows shared drives, and transfer a lot of file to/from them. If Windows crash :) or unplugging RJ, our program hang on read/write calls ( and all other access to remote file ) for undefined time... WE NEED to set a SHORT timeout for connection lost !!!!!! The sockopt  KEEP_ALIVE not help us! Is there some tuning to recognize netfail fairly?   If you can send us an update of solution for that, that will be allot appreciate.
