While using smbmounted shares I get the following errors in my syslog: ---<snip>-- Nov 27 18:27:45 cayman kernel: smb_request: result -104, setting invalid Nov 27 18:27:46 cayman kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=529, generation=2 --</snip>-- Is this something I should worry about?

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.

I have a number of RedHat 7.3 computers. Kernel 2.4.18-3. Samba version 2.2.3a, installed from RPM that came on the RedHat CD. All the computers share some directories, but I don't think this is the issue. They also mount some windows shares like this: //host/unc /mnt/host/unc smbfs username=admin,password=pwd,workgrou=support,uid=user,gid=user 0 0 Sometimes on access to these shares

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 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.

Dear Samba Support, Currently I'm using redhat 6.2 with kernel version 2.2.14-5.0 and samba server version : samba-2.0.6-9 I have configured our samba server as member of NT domain. Everything works well, ie: I can join to PDC server and also mount our file server into our samba server But everyday in our samba server on file /var/log/messages, I got messages: Aug 30 14:49:49 ultest

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

smb_request: result -104, setting invalid this repeatedly occurs in the messages log and the kernel log. does anyone know how i can look this up and find out what it means? samba appears to be working fine but i'd like to get to the bottom of it. cheers, kev

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). The server log says: [2000/05/01 17:59:52, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(336) samba logged in as admin user (root privileges) [2000/05/01 17:59:52, 1]

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

Hi all, I've read everywhere I could on this issue and it seems no one has yet to find a solution. It seems I have a Samba issue as is being shown in dmesg and /var/log/messages: Dmesg: smb_lookup: find //logs failed, error=-5 /var/log/messages: Jun 12 17:12:56 esgstdev01 kernel: smb_request: result -104, setting invalid Jun 12 17:12:56 esgstdev01 mount.smbfs[1038]:

Hello, I have a problem with smbmount between two Linux (both: RH 6.0, kernel 2.2.9, samba 2.0.4c) boxes. When I use smbmount, the share loads and I can read files just fine, but when I copy ("cp file") to the share, the first 512 bytes of the file are copied and then the copy just freezes there. Trying several times to kill -9 the process didn't work. I had to reboot the server.

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

Dudes and/or Dudettes: HEEELLLPPP! (such a newbie statement) I can't get my remote SMB mounts to work on my Linux box. duke was happily running Slackware Linux 2.0.36 and Samba 1.9.18p8 . I upgraded to Linux 2.2.0pre9 (2.2.0final), which seemed to require upgrading to Samba 2.0.0 . (I don't remember the exact errors) Now i can't get my NT and '95 disks to stay mounted on
