Those 2 children has crashed completely several times, here is the kernel messages: Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: CPU: 0 Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: EIP: 0010:[<c012d472>] Not tainted Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: EFLAGS: 00010282 Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: eax: c108f7c0 ebx: c6215400 ecx: c108f7c0 edx: c2ff6180 Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: esi: c108f7c0 edi: c4a80800 ebp: 00000000 esp: c4bc5f08 Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: Process smbd (pid: 17949, stackpage=c4bc5000) Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: Stack: c1040000 c0251aa0 00000216 ffffffff c621 5400 00000200 c4a80800 c6464d80 Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: c012285c c4a80800 c1207ce4 c4a80800 c012 546f c4a80800 00000000 00000300 Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: 00000000 c4bc4000 c014450c c2db6460 c015 8333 c4a80800 c4bc4000 c4bc4000 Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: Call Trace: [<c012285c>] [<c012546f>] [<c014450 c>] [<c0158333>] [<c011424a>] Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: [<c0118b96>] [<c013268f>] [<c0106ff3>] Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: Jan 28 16:30:22 PSPprint kernel: Code: 0f 0b 8b 56 08 85 d2 74 02 0f 0b 89 f0 2b 05 cc ca 2c c0 c1 I found this in the smbd logs, could you help me understanding what Invalid handle could come from and is that can explain the kernel crash ?
