Hello, I've encountered recurring issue with samba crashes when creating initial Time Machine backup on samba share from Mac. Whole scenario, details about software and logs are below. On Mac client: connected to smb share with "valid user" account; added smb share as Time Machine disk. Time machine has been set for automatic backup, I've selected Back Up Now. Connection dies around 20%-30% of initial backup creation, samba share is still on Finder list and can't be unmounted with an icon from gui. There are no other Time Machine disks in use.
