hi,

just to tell you that we had the same issue 2 years ago and my colleague
blamed samba for this. in fact it turned out to be a SCSI HW problem on
the system. all stress test on the local storage succeeded but when
samba came into the game it broke the system. that's why we thought it's
related to samba, which wasn't true...

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.

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,
