similar to: Horrible smbmount problem

A friend of mine is running Samba (samba-2.0.3-8) on a couple RedHat Linux 6.0 machines. He is sharing files bilaterally at work with a WinNT machine and at home with a Win9x machine. In both places, he is getting a large number of SMB error messages. I'm not sure whether these are from the smbfs (smbmount) or from the Windoze machines accessing the Linux drives, though I suspect the

Greetings, About 2 months ago, we decided to backup our Oracle test servers via samba rather than nfs -- the backups were just taking too long using nfs. No problem mounting the remote file share to the server and the backup took about one-third of the time. Yep, worked good...and still continues to out perform nfs hands down. Problem is - I'm receiving errors on both of the test servers.

Hi All: When I use samfs, sometimes I got the following messages, Mr. Google says this is because the windows client use the share, and the connection is "reconnected"! Does it right? How to ward off the error? Is there any potential problem if I ignore it? My actions are smbmount and smbumount some shares. Sometimes some shares are smbumount before they mounted (thus cause a

I earlier this week upgraded from Debian woody to sarge on a machine that does a nightly backup to another machine via a samba share. Since then I have had some issues with accessing that share with I believe are a result of the upgrade. I upgraded the kernel at the same time to 2.4.27-1-686 #1 via apt-get, which might be the related to the problem. Smbfs is version 3.0.6-3

Hello, I have a problem, I'm mounting a ntfs directory shared with w2k. I made "cd" to the mounted directory, I excute tar ... and the limit is 2Gb, and I receive the error: Jul 20 10:04:30 mail kernel: smb_get_length: recv error = 512 Jul 20 10:04:30 mail kernel: smb_request: result -512, setting invalid Jul 20 10:04:30 mail kernel: smb_retry: caught signal Jul 20 10:04:30 mail

Hi all I'm using Samba version 3.0623 on my rhel3 with kernel 2.4.21 I mounted a windows partition with the command "smbmount". Now I have the problem, that I cannot copying files which are larger than 2GB. The cp command starts and everything works fine until the 2GB are reached. Then the bash gives me the error: "The maximum file size is exceeded" the

I'm running Linux 2.1.130 on an AXP, with Samba 2.0 beta 2. I have smbfs enabled in the kernel with Win 95 bug fixes enabled but I'm not running smbd. The server containing the share is an HP running Samba 1.9.16p11. I mount the share with smbmount //hpname/share -c 'mount /home/me/mydir' All is well for a while (~1 hour), but then I get kernel: smb_get_length: recv error = 5

Hi there. I'm having a very odd problem with samba. I have a Mandrake 7.2 linux distro, though I've compiled a 2.4.2 kernel for it (with samba support compiled in - not a module), and I've also compiled Samba 2.0.7. When I mount shares from my win98 machines, if I try to list a large directory or open a large file, the terminal freezes. I'm able to log in another, but if I

Hello, I have a samba server serving som e shares to a heavily loaded web- server. There a four shares fg 60Gb each. Approx. once a day, one of the shares die (it tends to be the one under the harddest strain).

Hi list members! Probably this one isn't even samba-related, but as I do not fully understand the error messages and this list is read by people who work wokr with samba more often than me, I hope someone can help me. Okay, here is what I've got. I boot knoppix on a workstation and start a script, which backs up the harddrive onto another PC which is running Windows NT Workstation.

Hi! I have several linux boxes, that need to be backed up. I wrote a small script for this task that simply creates a .tar.gz file with alle the important stuff in it. The tape drive is connected to a windows box, so the script also mounts a windows share and copies the .tar.gz file. Unfortunately I get errors from time to time when the script copies large files (>200 MB). Small files (<100

I'm new to Samba and networking, and am running RH 6.1, Samba Version 2.0.7 on my home PC and using it as a LAN gateway for 2 Win95 boxes. Samba is printing error messages directly to the screen. It tends to favor the Pine program, overwriting whatever is on the console even if I'm reading from a different virtual console (see next 2 paragraphs for example): <edit> If you have a

Found these messages in /var/log/dmesg on a Redhat 7.1 machine running Samba 2.2.2 accessing a Win 2000 share.
