You could make a copy of everything in the inaccessible share, make a
new share with settings identical to the settings of the shares that are
still accessible when copying has finished, and try to access the new
share with a remote client.

If you can access the new share, either something with the old one is
weird, or you have changed something like permissions or extended
attributes by copying.


If you cannot access the new share, try a different kernel version (or
try a different kernel version first).  I've had a case in which a
kernel would freeze/panic when the directory contents of a directory
that was exported via NFS were displayed with ls on a NFS client.

IIRC samba uses kernel support on the server.  Perhaps you have a
version mismatch between the new samba version and what the kernel
supports.
