Not hijacking the thread here...just adding more info as I have the same issue.
I run Samba 3.0.23c (on FC6 64 bit), and am backing up from a Windows box to my Samba share. Sometimes it works great; other times the samba share locks up (I need to restart the smb service); and last week samba caused a kernel panic. I can sometimes get 65GB onto the share before it locks up. I can backup to the share using NFS (using Windows Services for Unix) without issue, but not to Samba. My relevant smb.conf settings are: reset on zero vc = yes read raw = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 Strangely, smb logs NO errors! Trying to browse to the share from any windows client times out. But, after an smb restart everything is fine again. -MD- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Felipe Augusto van de Wiel Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 9:05 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] Connection dropped when copying large files to a SambaServer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 01/30/2007 02:44 PM, mactek - Manuel Teixeira wrote: > Hi all > > I have a CentOS 4.4 > > Kernel 2.6.9-11.EL > Samba (smbd -V) > 3.0.10-1.4E.9 As a side note, you _really_ should install a newer version of Samba, the last stable release is 3.0.23d. > I've been using this server as a small file server recently i needed > to do a backup (ntbackup to file) and the backup fails randomly, the > largest backup file i managed was about 3GBytes I tried copying large > files and randomly the connection is lost I tried with a ping at the > same time and the replies don't get interrupted so it seems to me it > is a samba issue > > I have the latest versions (except the kernel) or so the updater tells > me If you are talking about samba then, no, definetely you don't have the latest version. Could you please post your smb.conf so the list can take a look at it? Good tips would include to check the oplocks and the socket options. > thanks all > Manuel Teixeira Kind regards, - -- Felipe Augusto van de Wiel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Coordenadoria de Tecnologia da Informação (CTI) - SEDU/PARANACIDADE http://www.paranacidade.org.br/ Phone: (+55 41 3350 3300) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFxzl6Cj65ZxU4gPQRAiyiAJ9yLZrnR2fPG4Dk5Km3ATVEIgnw+ACgphJk LhmgDczhEI+NjnEJzmozc2g= =lgWl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
