Re: [Samba] Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
Inactivity timeout either on the NAS or somewhere else on the network? If the network connectivity is interrupted, that would break the backup and give a genuine transport endpoint error. Does changing the time of the job make any difference? Moray. To err is human.

Re: [Samba] Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
Just read the mentioned article but I think this does not describe my problem. The error described there is more like a warning message to me. Moreover even if I define smb ports 139 the message still appears which it should not according to the article. Also, as mentioned, the backup fails. Here again the entries from the logfile. [2010/10/18 22:06:14.464881, 0] lib/util_sock.c:474(read_fd_with_timeout) [2010/10/18 22:06:14.499439, 0] lib/util_sock.c:1432(get_peer_addr_internal) getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected read_fd_with_timeout: client 0.0.0.0 read error = Connection reset by peer. Copying the file manually from windows works. Took the windows Box 14 minutes. Thing is that it sometimes works and sometimes not. Using the other (older version) samba server it always works. I pretty much rule out any hardware issues NIC, etc. because the ReadyNAS also exports NFS shares and rsync's a good deal of data every night without any trouble at all.

Re: [Samba] Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
Did you try changing smb.conf on the NAS to be port 139 only? Also, it seems that 55 GB should not take one hour to copy (55 GBytes is 440 Gbit, and at 1 Gbit/sec and 60 secs / min, the transfer sohuld take about minutes- at least in theory.) I am guessing it is dropping because it tries to reestablish a connection part way through the transfer. On 10/15/2010 07:12 AM, robert.gehr wrote: Nice try.

Re: [Samba] Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
I don't think this is my problem. Samba on the ReadyNas works all right, it is fast, I can mount shares etc. No worries at all. Only if I copy that huge file which takes abaut an hour (depending on the network load) or so the error pops up and the backup fails. The ReadNas is a Debian based Linux. The windows machine a Server 2008 R2 system. As already mentioned backing up to the old samba server never caused any troubles. Both the old samba server and the ReadyNas have the default smb ports = 445 139 settings. Both machines run as member servers of an AD Domain. Thanks again for any hints.

Re: [Samba] Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
Is the Windows SQL server a domain controller or member server - I don't imagine it matters since this really does not seem to be an authentication problem (unless some cache has timed out- which still should not affect users how have already authenticated.) I am wondering there is some reauthentication that happens after 1 hour. On the NAS device, there should be logs for each machine that has connected- does that show anything? When you backup the sql database, are you stopping sql and just copying the file ? Are you using Windows backup? Is this a scheduled or manual job? Are both machines on gigabit ethernet? Do you see any windows messages about loosing connection with the domain server (which can indicate an issue with autonegotiating ethernet speed or duplexing.) Have you tried copying the 55 GB file from a XP machine to the NAS? The other option may be to use scp or rsync to copy the file (if you have cygwin installed on your windows server.) If my math is correct 55 GBytes = 440 Gbits At a 1 Gbit/sec that should be 440 seconds or 7.33 minutes. On 10/12/2010 03:45 AM, robert.gehr wrote: I don't think this is my problem.

Marco. As I recall, it has something to do with smb trying to use both ports 139 and 445, and there being some contention there. Try adding the following to your smb.conf file: smb ports = 445 (the default is smbports = 445 139). At least this worked for me.

[Samba] Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
Title: Error was Transport endpoint is not connected Hi! I have a strange problem with samba (currently version 2.2.4) that I haven't been able to resolv. I use samba as a NT domain controller and the clients uses Windows 2000. Most of the time it all works perfectly fine but now and then, all of a sudden, clients can no longer connect to the samba server. After 2-3 days the problem is gone and it works fine again, but I havent been able to trace the problem down. In the logfile the following error messages are found: [2002/10/27 16:50:23, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_socket_addr(1014) getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected [2002/10/27 15:32:31, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket(524) write_socket: Error writing 4 bytes to socket 12: ERRNO = Broken pipe and sometimes [2002/10/27 15:40:03, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(475) tdb(/usr/local/samba/var/locks/connections.tdb): tdb_reopen: file dev/inode has changed! I have looked everywhere on the internet for answers but all I can find is other people with the exact same problem. But no solutions! I have also tried many different versions of samba, but the problem remains. Does any of you samba-genius know anything about this? Any suggestions? Thanks, Daniel
