I only received useful info and after some tests. Thr test I did under heavy writes all passed. I am unsure if it is kernel panics as I have not been on site when the reported crashes happen to verify. The reports are that it crashes under heavy reads. (i.e. up to 20 rendering computers are fetching files of up to 10 Gbytes each simultandeously ) But it does not crash under writes.

[Samba] samba-3.6.0-server frequent crashes
Greetings, I have a samba server deployed. The machine has these: cpu: amd64 -4 cores motherboard :GA-990XA-UD3 with 6 sata ports and StarTech 2 Port SATA 6Gbps PCIe SATA Card memory: 16GBytes disks:raid 10 (6 disks) os:cblfs/linux kernel-3.1.5 pure 64bit and samba-3.6.0 The machine in deployed as a data-storage-devicefor windows7-based machines doing 3d graphics rendering using 3d-StudioMax. There are 8 client machines with plans to expand this to ~20. The rendering machins do frequent writes and reads to the samba server which also runs linux software raid (RAID10).The smb.conf has these: [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = WHATEVER server string = Samba %v on (%L) encrypt passwords = True security = user smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd log file = /var/log/sambaUSER-log.%m socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127. host deny = 0.0.0.0/0 interfaces = eth* lo bind interfaces only = yes dos charset = cp850 unix charset = ISO-8859-1 load printers = yes max log size = 50 local master = yes printing = cups guest account = guest os level = 99 dns proxy = no wins support = yes #[ipc$] #hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24 127.0.0.1 #hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = no browseable = no [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes guest ok = yes printable = yes browseable = yes writable = no create mask = 0700 public = yes there is no firewall yet It is a new setup and the server is crashing daily. We do not know the cause of the crashes but here are some unusual ways the server us currently used: --a) because of work pressures 8 users are logged in with the same name to write to a publically accessible share. Could is be the cause of the crashes? --b) Could there be a mismatch of sata types as the startech sata card though rated as the same 6Gbps transfer speed as motherbard-integrated raid , is a different asic AND IF SO could this be causing the problems? --c)Are there settings in smb.conf which can increase the data-transferred rate vin the eternet ( bonding NIC's for example) and if so how so. Advice would be much appreciated. sincerely lux-integ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
[Samba] samba-server, windows7-clients, server-hostname
Greetings, I have setup a computer to act as a 'samba-server'. The machine has these:- --cpu: amd64 --OS: cblfs linux --samba-3.6.0 compiled from sources in /usr/local/samba The clients are windows 7 clients. They can only see the server as its IP- address not a name/hostname. QUESTION: Are there entries to be made in smb.conf to enable the smbserver to be seen as its hostname/or-any-other-name rather than by its IPaddress? suggestions welcomed suincerely lux-Integ 30-12-2011 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
