Hi Alexander, Not sure if this of any help, but we had a similar problem with runaway SMBDs and what seemed to be oplocks. We are running RH6.2 with 0.7.26 ACLs. After much messing around and hassling Jeremy, I eventually changed the kernel from 2.2.19 to 2.2.20 and recompiled everything from scratch. Since then we have not had one of these rogue processes. I think Jeremy was right when he

Hello, all. I'm using Samba 2.2.2 at my FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE server, and have next problems: There is pool of W2K machines, each starting compilation job (usually 2 at one dual CPU machine). Then these jobs trying to simultaneously access sources, located at Samba server, appear problems. Then I running 2 compilation threads from single machine - there is no problems. For jobs error seems

Hello, i am running Samba 2.2.3a on a Red Hat Linux 7.3 box with kernel 2.4.18-10. I am experiencing some problems on a particular samba share, which is accessed by 10 Windows 98SE clients working on a COBOL production packet by mapping with a G: letters this samba folder. Well, some times a day it happens that this packed blocks because some files on that samba folder remains locked; i

Hello, I'm running a samba 3.0.14a server in production on a fedora core 3 (kernel 2.6.9-1.667smp) with a least 250 clients (XP Pro SP2) (up to 400 sometimes). A few days ago, a problem appeared with a soft that we are using for a long time. (Petit Robert, a french dictionnary). When someone launch the dictionnary, many clients are freezed when they try to access to the "start

Hi, i have a problem with access xp (2002) database files after moving the files to the linux files server. really often (6 times today) the database file is corrupt. i am running samba 2.2.5 on linux mandrake 8.2 with kernel 2.4.18. i have read that this has something to do with the file locking, but don't know what to do right now. i've set the parameter "veto oplock files =

When 2.2.4 was released, I updated my cvs and did ./configure and make (no special options). Since I came in somewhat early today and nobody was around I did the make install. Everything ran fine until I tried to load a particular file and I'm receiving the following error and unable to open the file on a network share. If I place the file on a local drive it loads fine. Permissions and

Hi all, I use samba 2.2.2 on AIX 4.3.2 (1500 NT4 sp6a / w2k sp2 workstation). since i had updated from 2.0.7 to 2.2.2 the CPU load will very fast go to 100% an d teh memory use of a smbd process will grow up to 100 MB. In teh log-files are many errors like that: PANIC: open_mode_check: Existant process 22700 left active oplock smbd/open.c:open_mode_check(555) open_mode_check: exlusive oplock

Hi everyone, Trying to copy a 3.5MB file from a Windows 2000 workstation to a FreeBSD 4.6.2 server running samba-2.2.6.p2. The 3.5MB file is an MS Access file called MoldFE.mdb. After a few seconds of copying the file, a message box pops up on the W2K workstation that states "Cannot copy MoldFE: The specified network name is no longer available". In /var/log/messages, I see this:

Hi, Has anyone any ideas what is causing my smbd processes to crash? The files being accessed via samba are on an NFS mounted directory.

We have been using samba for years now and are generally very happy. But since a recent upgrade to 2.2.8 we have seen samba slowing down periodically to a crawl every 2 or 3 days. BTW the start of these problems coincided with the upgrade to samba 2.2.8 and a partial cabling upgrade to 100 MBit, which also coincided with the introduction of the first Win XP Pro machines to our LAN. ;-( We have

Hi- I've used the same smb.conf for many such file servers: one big share the office can write to, share level, no passwords. But I've never had the following error, and can't find the same combo of errors on the web either. They are MS works 2000 databases. If a client opens one, then closes it, no other client can access the file (it will hang indefinitely) until the original

Hi all, I've posted a similar message a few weeks ago. I had the 'oplock' problem. I run a linux server with samba (specification below). I get a reply who told me to disable kernel oplocks and oplocks. I did exactly what he told me to do. I hoped it worked... but it did not... From there one i started reading in the archives and followed the 'lock' discussions in this list.

Hello, System: Solaris 8/9 Samba: 3.02 and 3.06 We have problems with accessing files (from Windows XP) on a samba server that are mounted over nfs (on the server). Some users have symlinks in their home directories to nfs resources. When they try to copy file located in nfs the client simply hangs. To make the thing even stranger: Sometimes it also works (after restarting the samba server

Jeremy, Bit of bad news - we had a another runaway SMBD. This time profiles were NOT involved - I was simply copying up an installation of Office2000 and then deleting it. It almost reached the end of the deletion when the processor utilisation went up to 90%. The client connection then dropped with a 'connection is no longer available' and there is now 99% processor utilisation on the

We're using CentOS samba for about 20 workstations, mostly XP, some 2000 and two win98. Samba shares a data directory with Word, Excel and Access documents/db's. Also Exact for Dos is running from this share (executable and data). The users experience a long delay every morning opening the first Word document (Word 97, Word 2000). This could take 10 minutes or so. If they close

Hi all, We have a HP-UX 11i server running as a samba server. Users use Windows 2000 boxes with Service Pack 4 to connect to the samba server. Several days ago, we upgraded samba server from 2.0.7 to 3.0.5, and we started to experience the following problem: The general connection and access to the samba server is ok. However, under the samba share there have been some directories mounted from

I have been searching for info on this and haven't found an authoritative answer. From what I have read, oplocks are good because they increase connection speeds, but they are bad because they don't really work, but they actually do work, but they only work in some cases, etc etc. so, here's my problem and my question together: I get tons of these messages every day (over a thousand a

Hey all, well, first of all (even if it's quite late as it's in version 3.0.7 already): thanks a lot to all who are developing and supporting Samba! I'm new to Linux and I really like the way things are happening on this OS. But now, I've reached a point where I have to raise the white flag... It seems to me like - at least my - software raid can't dance Samba. I've got
