Hello everybody, I am using Mandrake 8.2 server(Samba 2.0.7) and Win95 clients. I am facing the following problem. 1. In /var/log/samba folder a log file log.smb.old is getting created frequently. It will not be there always. Suddenly it is created and its size will be almost 950 MB. After this we face problem with accessing bigger files(4-5 MB).Telnet connection also becomes slow.The file contents are like this. [2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508) write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe [2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508) write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe [2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508) write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe [2002/07/01 13:42:15, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(508) write_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe 2. Even after this file is deleted, the free space information does not show the actual thing. Only after restarting the server, everthing will be OK. Sometimes it is created after only few hours. I searched the faq section but didnt get the solution. Hope somebody can help me in this regard.
