Could other people experiencing this bug tell what type of network share they are trying to access (Samba server, network drive, NAS box brand, Windows Server, etc.) and if setting /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled to 0 also solves the issue for them ?

Unfortunately, at the moment it appears that the /proc setting is the only way to request *not* to negociate the Unix extensions. It would be easier if we could specify it as a per-mount option.

Steve French talked about this option in the past, but apparently it never made it to CIFS:
