Hi friends, we are facing a peculiar problem. We are having two servers, 1.Redhat 6.2 which we are using for more than two years without any major problem and 2.Mandrake 8.0 which we are using from past 8 months with the following problem from past around two months. We have a windows peer to peer network which will be accessing these servers.
A file with name smb.log.old is created in /var/log/samba with the following contents. [2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508) write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe [2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508) write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe [2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508) write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe [2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508) write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe [2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508) write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe It grows very fast and reaches a size of about a GB. This fills up the /var directory(1 GB partition). Accessing any file in the server as well as Telnet connection becomes very slow. Even if we delete the file the problem persists till the server is restarted. Sometimes it is created again within 1 or 2 hours and sometimes after several days. So we are facing lot of problem. I have searched the web a lot without any breakthrough. If somebody can help us regarding this we will be very much thankful to them. Thanks in advance Regards Raghunandan Cheers Raghunandan Force10 Solutions Ph: (O)659 2292/6596692 Extn:27/33 (R)653 1165
