My Linux box just bit the dust in a dramatic fashion (complete lockup, needed a cold reboot). Although I am not at all sure what the cause was, the last message in the system log mentioned samba, and there are some other funny looking samba-related messages in there. I'm not asking for a diagnostic, but if anyone has seen these before, maybe they can tell me what they mean: Last message before reboot: Oct 26 12:24:03 whelk kernel: smb_put_inode: could not close This one suggests to me that the file system had crashed for some reason, so samba couldn't close an open file - but maybe I'm wrong. Dubios messages following reboot: Oct 26 11:43:48 whelk kernel: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready == NULL Oct 26 11:44:36 whelk kernel: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: sk->data_callback != smb_data_callback Oct 26 11:45:31 whelk kernel: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready == NULL Oct 26 11:45:37 whelk kernel: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: server->data_ready == NULL Oct 26 11:46:21 whelk kernel: smb_dont_catch_keepalive: sk->data_callback != smb_data_callback Thanks! -------- Jon Peterson Head of Development AMXstudios London, UK +44 171 613 5300 www.amxstudios.com><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><>"Don't count your blessings before they hatch."
