I am having some trouble with Samba. It was working fine on an old server with
3.0.21.
Now I have updated to 3.0.28 (via 3.0.25) and a bigger fatter faster server.
There are two problems. Firstly the new server seems slower than the old one,
and some users
are experiencing intermittent data loss via MS apps such as Word or Excell
crashing.
The system runs on Arch Linux, with a slightly modified package to include
winbind.
The smb.conf file reads as follows:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0)
# Date: 2006/12/18 17:27:22

Now I managed to get a report of an error which left a trace in a log file
showing some errors which are here:
Sorry about the length of the extracts, but there seem to be two types of
different errors including:
