[SOLVED] Can't copy certain files from a CIFS share

Hello!
I just reinstalled my Arch system and trying to copy the saved files from a D-link DNS-320l back to the local machine. I mount the CIFS share with "vers=1.0" option because that's the only one the NAS supports. Some files can be copied no problem, but some of them gives the following error:

[user@asdfg ~]$ cp /mnt/sharecenter/user/test.pdf .
cp: error reading '/mnt/sharecenter/user/test.pdf': Input/output error

Couldn't discover any consistency in the affected files' name / size / contents, it just happens randomly.
A 120 MB video file with a name containing spaces and national characters, copies perfectly. But a 2 MB "test.pdf" does not.
If somebody knows how to solve this, please help me. Thanks.

Ok, I finally managed to fix this myself. If anyone else has this problem, the solution is to enable Oplocks on the server. Now it works perfectly.
