I am having a problem with smbsh. I get the following error after I enter my username and password: ERROR: can't get smbw shared lock (Invalid argument) I am running linux 7.2 with samba 2.2.2. The error message is produced from the function lockit(void) in smbwrapper/shared.c. The error originates in file lib/util.c in function: fcntl_lock(shared_fd,SMB_F_SETLKW,0,1,F_WRLCK) fcntl_lock

Version 2.0.5a (same prob w/2.0.4b, though). smbsh segfaults after I enter my password. As root, it just seg faults. As my login user, it dumps core. Attached is a script of an strace of it. Running RH 6.0, kernel 2.2.10, AMD K6-2/350, 64M RAM. Configure options were: CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" ./configure --prefix=%{pref} --libdir=/etc \ --with-lockdir=/var/lock/samba

Perhaps I can ask a slightly different question? Is there some kind of test I can do on a hung process so I can determine whether it's active or not, in a script? The output of strace is below but it doesn't mean much to me I'm afraid. Is there a straight forward difference between strace for a "real" connection and one of my hung ones that I can use to manually kill them?

Hi Volker and many thanks for your response According to your questions >Please remove the SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF entries. >Oh, that's ancient. Do you have any possibility to move to >"security=user"? The smb.conf file was inherited from HP-UX system. Ok, I'll remove them >Did you try "posix locking = no"? That is mostly criticial >if

Hello, I am having a problem with Samba 3.0.4 and DOS clients. The MSDOS COPY command will not work on mapped directories. When I try to run the COPY command I get an "File not found" error message. This only happens on DOS, all other OS's work fine. I have noticed that someone else on this list has also run into this problem, but no answer/work-around is posted. Here is my

Please help, Dovecot is running extremely slow for the last couple of weeks and it seems to be getting worse (or my patience running short). I attach the 10-master configuration and the log file after running strace according to: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/ProcessTracing I can click on an email and wait for a minute or more before receiving a connection dropped or no error at all. I

Dear All, We're running smbd "Version 4.3.9-Ubuntu", and it populates our log files with these two lines per every connect: === [2016/07/18 18:42:31.544726, 1] ../source3/printing/printer_list.c:234(printer_list_get_last_refresh) Failed to fetch record!

Hi, I added these lines to smb.conf: kernel op locks = false op locks = false strict locking = true so I could see some locks from the unix level. It worked sorta, I see the locks for big files (but not the locks I was expecting), but for little files it shows nothing: # ./lock_list /opt/testsambashare/mattest.doc # ./lock_list /opt/testsambashare/contents.doc 0 22086 W

Hello, I am trying to work out the file locking mechanism on our Samba server when connecting from Linux clients. I am getting some strange behaviour in a mixed Linux/Windows environment when multiple clients open/lock the same file for writing. Everything seems fine when a Windows client creates the lock, but if a Linux client creates the lock, we get either two or more Linux clients being able

I've been trying to determine if a file is locked by samba from unix. Is there some magic incantation to find this? E.g. if someone is copying a file in from a windows system via samba. I'm using the default locking parameters on 3.0.10 with a 2.6 kernel. I've tried checking posix byte ranges, posix locking, and kernel op locks. Here is my test program: #include <sys/types.h>

Hi I look at list archives and at samba docs but I did not found ... please can some one help me? I have to write a unix program that need to check if it can write to a file and place the apropriate locks before write. Those files are in a Samba share. I intend to use fcntl() function to check and set the locks. I wrote a test program to see if the fcntl() function can see the samba locks

Hi all, I've got kind of strange setup, wherein all of my data is on a big NFS server (RH linux 8.0 running the 2.4.18 kernel and nfs-utils 1.0.1-2.80) and my Samba 3.0.0 PDC server (RH linux 7.3 w/ 2.4.18 kernel, nfs-utils 0.3.3-6.73) mounts the NFS export with the following options: rw,vers=3,wsize=8192,rsize=8192,hard,intr This mounted partition is then re-exported to the windows users

Hello. I tested dovecot's work with expunge messages on Mdbox over strace (see at tail of message). As I can see dovecot process opens old storage m.* file, reads it content, opens new temporary file, writes in this one content and rename this new one to m.(*+1). How fast this algorithm works on system with about 10000 users and 5Tb data? I will use mdbox_rotate_interval for delayed expunge

I have a reproducible intermittent error large site - "The specified network name is no longer available". This happens when copying large files. Below is part of log level 10 output & strace. Sorry for the long posting. I will probably need to put the loglevel 10 attached to a bugzilla - but thought I would try the lists initially. RHEL4 samba-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4

There seems to be a few people having this problem, but not much response. I've dug into the logs, and while I don't know exactly what I am looking at, I think I may have found something that may make sense to someone. A short recap. Samba was working fine, until I did a Debian security update, which upgraded my Samba to 2.2.8a. Now, I can create files on a mounted Samba share in a

The latest version that Western Digital has shipped with the My cloud devices accesses the disk about twice a minute. The access to /dev/sda2 is causing the system to keep the disk from going into standby mode. I don't understand the call to quotactl every minute when no one is trying to access the share. An strace of one of the processes shows the following: poll([{fd=13,

Debian Woody with security updates Linux kernel 2.2.25 Samba 3.0.0 libc6 2.2.5 The problem I have is with a windows application that uses samba. This application is crucial for the organization, so if this is not fixed, and soon, we will have to ditch Samba and move to a windows server. I *really* don't want to do this, as Samba has been working so well for years now and billg is rich enough

One of my smbd processes used 100% cpu. I straced the process and the output follows: washington:~# strace -p 3416 fcntl64(13, F_SETLKW64, {type=F_UNLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=404, len=1}, 0xbfffefa0) = 0 sendto(12, "\3\0X\r\0\0&\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\'\374\f\0\0\0\0\0\16\0\0\0", 26, 0, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(41373), sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}}, 16) = 26

I'm one of the developers of Notmuch, an email client that makes extensive use of Xapian. For some time, full multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) has been on our wish list. Olly mentioned that brass now uses free lists---a key step toward full MVCC---and I offered to pitch in on putting the other pieces into place. Before I wade too deep into this, I wanted to propose my plan. Full

We have experienced some trouble with samba lately. The servers load going from 5 to 20 causing everything to go very slow, but when I use top to check which process could be the cause of the trouble nothing uses CPU cycles. We have about 90% idle CPU usage, but load from 5-20. When I kill samba (service smb stop) the root-smb process still hangs and when I kill it (kill -9) the load goes
