I've got a problem with backuping a VM to remote NAS whitch is mounted with samba to /mnt/z1

This is the log:
INFO: starting new backup job: vzdump 101 --compress 0 --node far --mode snapshot --remove 0 --storage z1
INFO: Starting Backup of VM 101 (qemu)
INFO: status = running
INFO: update VM 101: -lock backup

INFO: aborting backup job
ERROR: Backup of VM 101 failed - vma_queue_write: write error - Invalid argument
INFO: Backup job finished with errors
TASK ERROR: job errors

The problem only exists if I choose compresion=none.
The backup process is done succesfully when I choose LZA compression.

I use the newest proxmox and do autoupdates every day on that host.

On local there is a mirror with ext4+lvm on it (standard instalation).
On remote there is a ext4, remote share is mounted by samba on /mnt/z1.
VM disks have qcow2 format.

How to diagnose that?
Does somebody challange with that or similar problem?

If local storage is checked as a backup storage the problem not exists.
If samba storage is checked as a backup storage the problem exists.

[9631705.054960] CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation.
[9631705.055143] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -113

All the time samba share is avaible and I can use mounted on /mnt/z1 remote cifs share.
 
I have the same PROBLEM, i can do backup with compression lzo and gzip, but i cant with none compression, the vma format...
The Storage is a CIFS mounted in a local directory on the proxmox server, i add this backup storage as a directory on the web gui.
I do something wrong???
