Hi,
I having intermittent problems which trigger the below segfault. Would
love to know what the problem is, and will gladly take any suggestions
as to how to troubleshoot this.
When this segfault happen, the windows clients sometimes report "write
delay failed".
This machine is an OpenVZ virtual machine, with a bridged interface.
Samba version: 3.0.22-1ubuntu3.6 (ubuntu dapper with custom OpenVZ kernel)
kernel: 2.6.18-028stab053
Filesystem is xfs with noatime on.
mount output:
simfs on / type simfs (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw)
varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw)
xfs filesystem is on top of a Raid1 md device on the host, with the
members provided by AoE.
I don't think the segfaults correspond to the occasional AoE retransmits
we get.
All networking is gigabit, and this system was stress tested with dbench
before going into production, and worked pretty well. Host has plenty of
ram, and nothing else segfaults, so I don't think its a hardware
problem, though I wouldn't rule out an interaction problem with
Samba/XFS/OpenVZ/md-RAID1/AoE at this stage.
As you can see it points at a windows server for authentication. I have
recently increased the winbind cache time to 900, in an effort to fix,
but to no avail. Across about 150 client machines getting about 10
segfaults a day, each with this error.
No particular pattern to the segfaults, and nothing sticks out about the
users/uid etc of the users affected (seems to be everyone and anyone at
random).
Setting loglevel to 10 for a specific machine doesn't seem to provide
any extra information for this problem.
getting this segfault which triggers a panic action intermittently:
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

I have tried to reproduce the problem by stressing the system further,
but to no avail. It does not appear related to system load etc, but
happens at random.
The machine is a profile server for Firefox and Thunderbird, so lots of
small files are opening and closing etc.
Here is my testparm -v: Domain replaced with (XXX)
