I have a process that moves files from a linux machine to a mounted share on a windows 2008 standard box. For some reason today the entire linux box locked up, and reported the following error:<br />
CIFS VFS: No writable handles for inode<br />
<br />
I had to restart the machine to be able to log back in.<br />
<br />
1. Is there a way to kill this error without rebooting?<br />
2. What caused this error?<br />
3. What is the fix for it?
