[SOLVED] Can't copy files from CIFS shares with Thunar. cp works

Hello, when I try to copy files from CIFS shares Thunar gives me this error:

Error when getting information for file descriptor.

Numerical result out of range.

I can move, open or remove files from Thunar. cp from terminal works without issue.

This is caused by a regression in glib2: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/2205

Until the fix gets downstreamed, rolling back glib2 should fix it:

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/g/glib2/glib2-2.64.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Hello, thank you for your help. Downgrading glib2 fixed the issue.
