When i try to swap files between disks on my server using samba i get
errors: then windows reports "The specified network name is no longer
available". Sometimes the copies are fine other times files just wont
copy. Hardware checks out fine. Ive even replaced the network cable
between server and switch thinking that might be causing the problem.
Ive included a ethereal cap of the network during one of these problems,
and my samba config as attachments the errors are as follows:

Samba for me will cause the "The specified network name no longer exists" (that's how it's worded for me, not "available") and copy a zero-length file to the destination drive. Reads from a Samba share are never any problem for me. If you immediately retry the operation, and immediately say "Y" to overwrite it, it will succeed. If you do the above for the first in a series of files to be copied to a Samba share, it will copy all the rest of them sucessfully. The other thing that gives this error away is the "getpeername failed... ...transport endpoint not connected. " I thought I had this fixed, but after months, it has recurred. The fix I tried was this (in smb.conf): smb ports = 139 The explanation I got was that Windows try to connect to a server over ports 443 and 139 nearly simultaneously, then use whichever one responds first. Samba replies to both, and it might be that Windows has already decided which it's going to use, and interprets the double reply as a failure. Use sendfile = no has also been suggested to me. Frankly, this is embarrassing, and has kept me from pushing Samba harder. When I ask about it, nobody seems to have a real answer. -Tom ----- 595.
