Hi there!
Seems that my 2.0beta5 is not going as smoothly as I'd hoped.
We've found a strange behaviour which is only happening when people
first log in in the morning.
When we log in, a number of drives are mapped to various directories on
the Unix box. Things seem to go OK until another person logs in and tries
to access a file already open by another user. Then they both seem to
loose their network connections to the Unix box. This manifests itself as a
"File read error" in Microsoft Access. Also, Pegasus mail GPFs -
which
is how it normally reacts when the network goes down.
There doesn't seem to be anything untoward in the logs except the
following lines appear quite often:
[1999/01/08 08:50:26, 0]
locking/locking_shm.c:shm_get_share_modes(212)
get_share_modes: process 12008 no longer exists
[1999/01/08 08:50:26, 0]
locking/locking_shm.c:shm_get_share_modes(240)
get_share_modes: file with dev 880039 inode 1797328 empty
and there was also a line which said:
[1999/01/08 09:11:06, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(219)
file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 1014 are
available.
[1999/01/08 09:11:06, 1] locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(629)
WARNING: clearing IPC lock 3 set by dead process 12138
which seemed to occur while a 'smbd' process was starting up.
It seems to be only occurring with Win 95 clients, too. I am on a NT
workstation and I have not experienced this yet. This may be just a
matter of circumstance, though.
The relevant smb.conf sections are:
[global]
server string = Craymer's Samba server
debug level = 2
security = user
guest account = guest
guest ok = no
read only = no
create mask = 0775
workgroup = MCCARTHY
wins support = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
[pc]
comment = PC directory
path = /pc
writable = yes
veto oplock files = /*.ps/*.sem/
[wpdata]
comment = WP Data directory
path = /wpdata
writable = yes
oplocks = false
Any help greatly appreciated.
