Slow mounting Samba shares

Why do I get timeouts or long delays when mounting Samba shares.

When mounting Samba shares in Linux, you may get timeouts or long delays. Looking at /var/log/messages, you may see messages similar to:

smb_add_request: request [f519a280, mid=0] timed out!
smb_delete_inode: could not close inode 2
init_special_inode: bogus i_mode (0)
smb_retry: no connection process

The solution is to change :

mount -t smbfs -o ...

with

mount -t cifs -o ...
