I am having a very consistent, extremely reproduceable (to the point that I canot figure how to get around it) occurance of the request_oplock_break problem. I started to see this in 1.9.18p10, and upgraded to 2.0.0. The problem still persists. I have searched thru the samba listproc archives, but have not found anything that seems applicable. My samba server is running on Solaris 2.5.1 My client is NT4 sp3 I have a share (it happens to be the root share of the smb server). I mount the network drive, and click on it, and NT4 will hang for quite a while. Seems like forever, but it is probably only 1 or 2 minutes. When it comes back, the directory listing is only partially listed. a refresh will come back w/ a similiar (i.e. partial) listing another couple of minutes later. I think I have seen different sets of partial listings, if it matters. After two or three of these attempts I will start to see the following message in my client smb log file: [1999/01/16 12:19:29, 0] smbd/oplock.c:(943) request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 4192 on port 33425 for dev = 28c0004, inode = 28752 pid 4192 is: ps -ef | grep 4192 greg 4192 131 0 11:43:07 ? 0:00 smbd ("greg" is the network user trying to access the share). I have tried a 2nd PC, and the problem also occurs there, ruling out the network card (whish due to other testing, was not high on the list of suspects.) This is entirely, 100% reproduceable. I have tried rebooting NT, solaris, to no avail. I am at my wits end. I looked at the code, but it is not clear to me how to continue diagnosing / debugging this. I am looking for suggestions as to how best to proceed. (solutions also welcome, though from my listproc searchs, I was unable to locate any :( as an aside, I put the following in my [global] sections of the smb.conf and I am not seeing the verbosity I would expect. [global] . . debug level = 10 . . I see some debug levels, but for example, oplock.c should be logging alot more when it is at debug level 10, and I am not seeing this. If my smb.conf is relavant to this discussion, or more of my logfile, I will be happy to post, but wanted to conserve teh bandwidth on this first post. thanks, and rgds, -Greg ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Gregory Hosler <gregory.hosler@eno.ericsson.se> Date: 16-Jan-99 Time: 12:22:519 "And where were you at 00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970?" -- As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. -- Albert Einstein ----------------------------------
