Hi all! I have recently installed samba-3.0.2a-1 on my RedHat 9.0, Kernel 2.4.20-8 box. The box has a 300GB RAID5 array, 4GB of memory, and dual 2.4Ghz P4 processors with hyper threading enabled. When I copy a massive amount of files (~50GB) to the Samba server from a Windows 2K client, somewhere during that process (seemingly around 2 hours into the copy each time), my Linux box COMPLETELY

I am getting an odd situation when backing up a number of ext3 filesystems and was wondering if it could be caused by journalling. Over the space of a minute the load average will jump from 2 to over 40 and the system will be unresponsive for anywhere from 8 to 25 minutes. I am going to be trying a number of things, but was wondering if anyone could see the reason for the high load given the

Hi, Im running a Dell 6450 w/ 4GB of memory, 2 2GB Swap Partitions. Redhat 7.3 kernel 2.4.18 (kernel.org). It runs our images for our site. We use rsync to sync images from a main image box. It runs fine for maybe 4 days untill all memory is in cache, and like 7MB of physical memory is free. The box will hardly do anything, and cache will just keep going up and up untill no more memory is free.

(Sent to linux-raid, linux-kernel and ext3-users since I'm not sure what type of issue this is) I've got a test system here running Redhat 7.1 + stock 2.4.9 with these patches: http://www.fys.uio.no/~trondmy/src/2.4.9/linux-2.4.9-NFS_ALL.dif http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/ext3-2.4-0.9.6-249.gz http://domsch.com/linux/aacraid/linux-2.4.9-aacraid-20010816.patch All three patches applied

Hi, I am a new ext3 user and I am having some problems. I seem to have introduced a memory leak after adding ext3 support to the kernel. I noticed when running top or viewing /proc/meminfo my free memory pool seems to be decreasing while my buffers are increasing (around the same rate). I am currently using a root partition and a /var partition. I have listed the ext3 boot messages below.

Do you know what can cause the smbd process to steal out the cpu usage (99%) and keep running like that for days? I have a Samba PDC 3.0.1pre3 running on top of RH9 2.4.20 kernel. Below is the current top report. Strangely, the PDC still responds in reasonable good response times to heavy network duty.traced the log.%machine name% and didn't find anything . I haven't tried to restart smb

Hi list, Time to time, my asterisk goes down.Verifying with TOP, I see the swap memory of the computer get used totally but, I don't see what the process is using it.

Hi everybody, I've spent last 16 hours trying to get Tinc working on my two almost identical linux boxes. Both are running Debian stable with backported Openssl and self-compiled kernel 2.4.24 with ebtables-patch to enable bridging firewall. Both firewalls have both masquaraded and just bridged nets behind (LAN & DMZ) and they are working perfectly. Now I need to get from my home to

Hi, This morning I had some failed calls. On the console (and in the log) I saw the error "Unable to allocate channel structure". Before I restarted the process, I checked it's memory usage in ps and glanced at my free memory in top. Asterisk was using a normal ammount of memory, about 40M. I don't think this was a system limit. This was running Asterisk v1.0.2. Below is

Hello I am using openssh as vpn on a router with freewrt.org and rsync to sync my local data to a remote server. Everything works fine for me so far. The only problem is that the channel-1 (tun0) goes down on the router after 50-200MB transfered via tun0 or after 5-20 hours only with a ping to the server . Channel-0 is still working. Tcpdump shows that a ping from the router to the server via

Hi All, We're currently trying to use samba in an embedded application, so we're working with samba 3.0.2a compiled for PPC. We have a test application which will basically write, then read back and compare data files on the disk. The problems we see occur when we try using just over 3500 small files (< 10k each). It seems that after about 200 or so iterations of this test, we start

Hi, One of my pbx's seems to be having some new issues. crackling interference on the zap channels running through the channel bank, and I noticed that these happen when I hit an "irq miss" in zttool: Current Alarms: No alarms.

Hello all, Saturday night, after a couple of shots of bourbon, I realized that I had an old PC sitting in the garage that I could use as an Asterisk gateway if I just blew the dust off it and reloaded it with a modern Linux distribution. In my characteristically impulsive manner, I grabbed it and started cleaning it up so that I could put it in my office without my wife having a fit. The

Hi all, I dont know if this problem is related to shorewall, but as here we have a lot of firewall experts ... :) We are using a Leaf box (1GHz 256MB RAM) for a network with normal traffic of about 6Mbps but peaks of up to 40Mbps. The chipset of the ethernets is a Realtek. We are experiencing some high latency high CPU usage issues (the CPU is at 90%) and we discovered the process

Hello All, Wondering what sort of real world mileage people are getting out of different internet connecions - i.e. different DSL connection speeds, cable modems, etc... Is it reasonable to hope to carry 10 - 15 concurrent calls on a 768K DSL? I'm not talking about theoretical BW or looking for any difinitive absolute guarantee... With DSL and Cable - there is no guarantee, so I'm

Hello, we are using HTB for dividing 15 Mb/s upload rate to 1022 classes (rate 14 kb/s, ceil 15 Mb/s), but sometimes ksoftirqd_CPU0 uses the most of the CPU-time (over 90% CPU load is casual in such situation). This situation occurs several times a week and takes minutes or one hour and during that time it has enormous packet loss. Reboot of the machine usually solves this problem. Because

Lately when I issue a 'reload' from the CLI, I find that it will sometimes hang forever, completely locked up. I can press enter and see the CLI prompt move, but no commands are taken.

Forgive my ignorance, but I keep reading about this smbtorture utility and I can't find it anywhere! It doesn't *seem* to come with Samba. Where can I find this binary? Thanks! Matthew
