Hi, I am running Debian/unstable with Samba-3.0.0-final and a few problems to do with Samba, some minor, some severe. On the system affected these applications are in use: Samba, tomcats, java sdk, several apache 1.3.26, typo3, php 4.3.3 There is a variety of symptoms connected with Samba. Sometimes typo3/php freezes when accessing a samba share. A "find . -name "s/thing"" on a samba fs often crashes in a way that samba cannot be restarted without rebooting the entire system. If other applications are involved in this type of crash, they also cannot be removed from the system by kill-signals, which is extremely annoying. I am not sure if this is a bug in Samba-3.0.0-final or a misconfiguration on the linux server or somewhere in the network. Where do I find documentation, that will help me to precisely interpret samba log entries? Any comments are very appreciated. Thanks & have a nice day, Rainer Some relevant parts of syslog and log.smbmount: syslog: Oct 13 15:20:20 linux1 kernel: smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid Oct 13 15:20:20 linux1 kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=132, generation=13 Oct 13 15:20:20 linux1 kernel: smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid Oct 13 15:20:20 linux1 kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=135, generation=11 Oct 13 15:20:20 linux1 kernel: smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid Oct 13 15:20:20 linux1 kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=141, generation=11 Oct 13 15:20:20 linux1 kernel: smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid Oct 13 15:20:20 linux1 kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=138, generation=9 ...
