similar to: smbmount intermittent problems

Hello everyone. I have two linux servers* that each have four directories mounted as SMBFS shares from a Windows 2000 Server. For the most part, this set-up is working great, however, there have been occasional hiccups. Every so often, one of the servers, LINUX-ONE, logs a couple of Samba-related errors. The following is an example: Jun 30 06:30:45 mx-two kernel: smb_trans2_request:

I just had the unpleasant experience of crashing a production server _twice_ when trying to access a file share. The server is 64-bit Windows 2003 on an itanium3. My box is RedHat Linux 8.0 with Samba 3.0.0-2. Here's some messages from syslog: Mar 19 09:13:58 hedron automount[1037]: attempting to mount entry /dborg/POS Mar 19 09:13:58 hedron mount.smbfs[23153]: [2004/03/19 09:13:58, 0]

Found these messages in /var/log/dmesg on a Redhat 7.1 machine running Samba 2.2.2 accessing a Win 2000 share. Actually, there are a bunch of tasks accessing the same share, complete with file locking, etc. Any docs on what that error code means? ...Thanks, ...Kenneth smb_get_length: recv error = 113 smb_trans2_request: result=-113, setting invalid smb_file_write: syndex/csafe.log validation

Hi people,

I don't know who this problem belongs to, samba or Linux, but it's a common one, judging by the responses in my INBOX to a previous post. Plus, it's a fairly serious one; many applications require smb shares to be mounted continuously and without interruption. It's been a recurring problem which seems to have been pushed off to the side as not important, even though it's a

Dear all, I use smbmount on a script. The package used is (SuSe 7.2): "... root@gprod:~ > which smbmount /usr/bin/smbmount root@gprod:~ > rpm -qf /usr/bin/smbmount smbclnt-2.2.0-15 root@gprod:~ > ls -l /usr/bin/smbmount -rwsr-sr-t 1 root root 497224 May 12 2001 /usr/bin/smbmount root@gprod:~ > ..." This script runs on crontab each 20 minutes. It uses the

Dear Sirs: I wish to report my experience with the package. I have compiled and used Samba 2.0.7pre 2, pre3, and pre4. I have not had any trouble connecting to Samba's shares (from an NT client), but I would like to report a problem with SMBFS and SMBMOUNT. NT4, SP5 shares mounted into the filespace of the Linux box can disconnect over time with two possible outcomes. The activity is

Hi, I'm using samba-2.0.6-19991110 on Redhat 6.1 in order to mount a NT-filesystem. The mount command is: smbmount //ISDN/CoTel /mnt/NT-Bank/ -o username=serv,password=serv,workgroup=WORK,uid=root,gid=users,ro everything works fine, except that after one or two days the mount disappears. A simple 'ls /mnt/NT-Bank/MCCWIN' results in 'Input/output error'. In

Hi, I have a samba +ldap PDC running on mandrake 10.0 the server is running great except for the error mesage in the kernel log, whic I think causes the system to crash after some time, how much time is needed is unknown, but it seems to get faster with increasing user, as this was a first attempt I first tried it with only less than 10 users, and it the server would go on for more than 3

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

Hi Samba-Team, I have a Linux Workstation (Dual Processor Xeon, 800GByte RAID 10, Gigabit Ethernet). There is a Samba Server (2.2.0) on it and there is a mounted Share from an NT-PC (mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //xxx/mount /home/mnt). In the file /var/log/messages I have the following error Messages : smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid smb_lookup: find //xxx

I've got a fully updated Fedora Core 4 server crashing hard every week or two. I use Samba via smbmount and autofs to read & delete log files on 17 XP boxs and 6 NT4SP6 boxes as well as a couple other Windows files servers every 5 minutes. The first indication of a problem I get is smbmount stops working, then the server becomes unresponsive to the point where only a power slam will fix

I am running samba-2.0.3-8 on Redhat 6.2 in five global locations. All are fine except one. In this location when a user runs MS Visual Developer they are able to open, save compile and edit files just fine. However when they type either [Enter] or [Bkspc] to add or delete a line, in this case only MSVD hangs for several seconds. Insert several lines and wait 1+ minutes!!! I have watched the

Hi all, I've read everywhere I could on this issue and it seems no one has yet to find a solution.

Hi! We're experiencing a really weird problem with our linux smb client. We map four directories to a NT4-share from our linux-box (2.2.12). The problem is that the mount goes through just fine with no complaints and I can see the files on that share, but, I can't see new files created with ls on the nt4-server on the linuxbox but if I run more <filename> I can see the contents of

Really odd problem that I'm having, and I'm totally clueless as to whats causing it. Scenario: 2 mounts from a W2K machine to a Linux box. The Win2k box gets powered down overnight. Obviously during this, if i do a df it freezes because it cant reach the drives. I used to be able to boot the machine back up in the morning and it would see the drives again. Not anymore. The same

First I will apologize for posting my patch here if this is not the correct place to post a patch. I know that smbfs is being removed, but we still use it and need it to work. We have a patch to contribute back to the smbfs in the 2.6 kernel. I have noticed multiply posts on this issue and we have basically patch the smbiod.c to fix the reconnect bug in 2.6 Something we did for our patch is
