I'm running Samba 2.0.4b on a E450 running Solaris 7 which acts as a diskspace server for students, normally everything runs quite smoothly with numbers of connections in the region of about 800/900. Then every now and again students will start seeing their connections being lost and others will not get a connection when they log in, looking at the system shows no obvious problems, except

Dear All, we've been having some intermittent problems with students who's home directories are on a Sun E450 running Samba 2.0.6. I'm not totally convinced that the problem is caused by the server, but may be the network. However, I've had a look at the log.smb file and I'm seeing some error messages that I've not come across before: [2001/02/23 18:20:40, 0]

Dear All, we are experiencing severe problems with Samba 2.2.0 (with quota support) running on a dual processor (400MHz) Sun E450 running Solaris 2.7. This is used as a central file server for student diskspace, accessed by approx 1200 PCs running NT 4. Up until recently we experienced some, what we assume to be, loading issues with connections during the middle of the day being slow.

Dear All, We are seeing the following warning messages in event logs on PCs that are accessing a Samba server (Solaris 2.7, samba 2.0.6):- 03/03/04/2001,14:44:04,Rdr,Warning,None,3025,N/A,CIS-C033-04,A write-behind operation has failed to the remote server ilex.

We've been having some problems where connections are being lost to our 2.0.4b Samba machine, the specifics of which are in a different post. To add to the problems we find there is a problem with particularly Word and also some other programs, with the file in memory getting corrupted when the connection is lost. If a user loads a Word document from there Samba share and then the

Dear All, I'm running SAMBA 2.0.5a on a Sun 450 running Solaris 7. In the past I've had an occasional problem with processes running amok and causing the server to grind to a halt, which I've put down to network glitches as they seemed to coincide with problems on the network. But today I've had 3 instances where the number of smbd processes has just steadily increased until

I've just come across a problem that had me baffled for a bit. We supply students with diskspace via a Solaris machine running Samba (2.0.6). Yesterday, I got a report that a couple of students could not access their diskspace, although at login time the drive was getting mapped. The problem was that if they tried to view the contents of the directory (explorer or dir) the process would

Hi, I've recently moved our student fileserver from a Solaris 10 server that was using UFS filesytems to a new Sun Cluster. As part of the move I decided to employ ZFS for the filesystem so that I could take advantage of some of ZFS's features. However, it now seems that windows does not report the amount of space that the user is actually using, or the amount of quota left,

Dear All, We are in the process of evaluating Samba to provide SMB access to unix file storage for a few hundred PC's. One of our tests is to save a Word97 document - something that has caused various PCNFS clients problems in the past. While saving the document the client stopped and said something like connection lost, or seesion closed, and the drives mapped from the samba box

we are running Samba 2.0.6 on a solaris 7 (intel) box. Users (about 270 at one time) connect to the home directories located on the samba server by NT 4 workstations . Problem is ..Some times they lose access suddenly .In the log files the following message appears ?------- [2000/08/22 08:28:09, 0] smbd/oplock.c:request_oplock_break(1202) request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock

We've inadvertently discovered a bug in the client_name function when our dns was temporarily damaged. We have a "hosts allow" function that has IP addresses only to contrain mounts to within our network. When clients would attempt to connect, if their reverse IP lookup failed - in theory just to log the name of the connecting host, the originating IP address was being mangled and

Server is PII-350MHz/256 MB RAM, hardware mirrored high speed SCSI disks. Installed is SuSE 8.2 with Samba 2.2.8a RPM, XFS filesystems and LPRng as printservices. Server acts as PDC and WINS server. Clients are W2K SP2 (a few with SP3). There are +/- 100 clients. We see a server that is 100% busy and we see during a long time a very high CPU load (60- 95%) related to one W2K client. When

I've seen a couple mentions of trouble w/ large files in the list archives, but nothing that seems to resolve this problem... When trying to move or copy largish files (~ >1MB) with WinN using Samba 1.9.18p10 on a Sparc Solaris 2.5 system, things hang for a while and then a dialog box pops up saying "Cannot copy {filename}: The session was cancelled.

Hello, I tried to code a R socket server but I did not succeed. The problem is that once the R socket server is created, I call the readLines function and then R gets blocked. The client seems to work fine since I tested it with a PERL server. I tried many combination of params in the socketConnection but none of them worked. I have seen some examples where the server sends something to a client
