[Samba] Samba Share Regularly Hangs for Win 10 Client
I'm running samba 4.77 on Fedora 27 with Kernel 4.16.12. I've got a fairly basic samba config, which I have posted below. I use Windows 10 clients. I'm in this list because this problem only ever seems to happen on my samba share and I'm hoping that someone will be able to help.>From time to time, but more often than not, Windows Explorer hangs for along time (10-20 minutes) when browsing my file share. Often I've right clicked on a file and am trying to use the "Open With" menu. Before the sub menu even opens Explorer will hang and be non-responsive. I've even restarted Samba during this which does not fix it. Often this can happen immediately just after a Windows reboot. The latest episode went like this: 11:31 PC starts up Windows 10 11:32 click the "Open with" menu. Windows Explorer actually dies this time and restarts itself. 11:34 Explorer very slow to give me control over any of the "View" options (details, icon, list etc) 11:34:45 Right click "Open with" and get the (Not Responding) problem 11:51:45 It responds I just happened to be collecting a Tcpdump for this Windows client on port 445 for the duration of the incident. This packet capture is available here: http://www.edcint.co.nz/tmp/smb.fails.tcpdump Is anyone able to help? -----------------smb.conf--------------------- [global] log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log writeable = yes server string = GW Samba Server %v admin users = mjurgens, vivian, jessica, jasmine, justin, julia workgroup = HOME hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.3.0/24 192.168.4.0/24 192.168.10.0/24 security = user passdb backend = tdbsam unix extensions = no load printers = no wide links = yes kernel oplocks = yes # needed for DDWRT routers ntlm auth = yes [shared] path = /export/shared create mask = 0775 comment = Shared valid users = @family playontv
