I figured out what was happening more specifically. My anti-virus software, PC-Cillin 2002, apparently either shut down the SMB connection or made it so slow as to be unusable, presumably to give it time to inspect the files I was trying to upload. syslog at that time said: Apr 16 04:00:26 chain kernel: smb_open: chain/home_noras.zip access denied, access=0, wish=1 Apr 16 04:00:26 chain kernel: smb_open: chain/home_nwn_saves.zip access denied, access=0, wish=1 Apr 16 04:00:26 chain kernel: smb_open: chain/home_phma.zip access denied, access=0, wish=1 Apr 16 04:00:27 chain kernel: smb_open: chain/home_raladue.zip access denied, access=0, wish=1 Apr 16 04:00:28 chain kernel: smb_open: chain/home_rj.zip access denied, access=0, wish=1 Apr 16 04:00:58 chain kernel: SMB server not responding Apr 16 04:00:58 chain kernel: smb_get_length: recv error = 5 Apr 16 04:00:58 chain kernel: smb_request: result -5, setting invalid Things got progressively worse, judging from the logs, after that. Thinking the backups *must* have completed, I turned the machine off the next morning and things went to hell in a handbasket. At some point, either when the machine went off or at the first time I tried to unmount, I also got this: Apr 16 10:12:38 chain kernel: smb_request: result -104, setting invalid Apr 16 10:12:48 chain kernel: smb_retry: caught signal -Robin -- http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~rlpowell/ BTW, I'm male, honest. le datni cu djica le nu zifre .iku'i .oi le so'e datni cu to'e te pilno je xlali -- RLP http://www.lojban.org/ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
