Hi Please please can someone shed some light on this one. I have mounted some windows 2003 shares onto the my linux box, Supermicro dual xeon running fedora core 2 samba 3.0.6 using smbmount and quite often the shares will die or just hang when there is a lot of activity on them. Does anyone have any idea how to stop this happening? The errors that I get in smbmount.log is the following... tdb_lock failed on list 112 ltype=1 (bad file descriptor) Cheers Paul

I wondered if it meant that the file was in use exclusively from the windows machine !!! Cheers Paul

Paul, If you are mounting shares that are on a Windows machine onto the file system of your Linux system then you are probably using smbfs - a Linux kernel file system driver. smbfs is not Samba. smbmount is a front-end utility that belongs to smbfs but shares some code with Samba. No-one on the Samba Team maintains these tools, they are maintained by the smbfs maintainers. Asking for help with smbfs on the Samba mailing list is a little like asking a Ford dealership to handle a warranty complaint for a GM automobile. smbfs is very old out-dated technology. cifsfs has replaced it in the Linux 2.6.x kernel. Suggest you look into cifsfs. Sorry, I do not wish to be rude, but you should check into cifsfs - it is more up to date compared with Samba-3.0.x. Cheers, John T.

John Thanks for your help, at last a person that will talk to me with suggestions. Apologies to the group I always thought smbfs was to do with the samba group, shows how little I know. I believe that smbfs links to cifs these days so will try to hunt down the group to do with cifs.
