Hello there This morning our main Samba server was pretty unresponsive running at a 30+ load average. After digging a bit what I found in the logs was the following. No data on inotify fd?!

Hello, One of the server I maintain has Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server with samba 3.0.28a. Kernel version is 2.6.24-16-server. The samba setup for this server is a workgroup environment, with user level security. At least once a week, sometimes more often, the server becomes unavailable because the system disk is full. It appears that the samba logs are the problem. Although the samba configuration

A few months ago we bought a GIS software. It is running under Windows XP Pro. This software has stored its databases in dbf files, located on one samba share. Executables reside on each WinXP Pro client. The software simply uses dbf databases located on samba share. Each session of the gis opens about 500 files. I have four workstations that are allowed to run this software. [kirchner]

Dear Group members! Since I have set up a Samba PDC-Server (openSUSE 11.2-64bit with default package Samba 3.4.3) approx. 8 months ago, I have encountered 3 or 4 times a severe crash of Samba. What happens is that all over a sudden Samba floods /var/log/messages and /var/log/warn with the following message (cropped out date/time/servername, etc.): smbd[19724]:

Had a server fill up completely with a samba workstation log file. The log file repeatedly had this information [2010/04/29 04:00:01, 0] smbd/notify_inotify.c:inotify_handler(240) No data on inotify fd?! about a billion times. In my smb.conf Ihave max log size = 50 set, so I was hoping the log file wouldn't get that big.

I service a small office with 6 XP computers. I just installed a server running CentOS 5.4 and Samba 3.0.33. They use a program called "On-screen Takeoff". This program accesses a couple database files that live on the shared drive. "Projects.ldb" and "Projects.mdb" On-screen takeoff stays open all day, and maintains access to it's database files all day.

Hi there We have a Samba-based "upload server" where people put files to be processed. Anyway, when they upload files, a Unix-based script runs and moves the files off.

I have been getting the inotify errors on both the old and the new Kernel, to the point that it filled my hard drive and made my Windows/XP unrecoverable. It appears to only happen

Hello, We are using Samba 4.10.16 as a file server on a linux box with SLES 12. All is working fine with our NAS NFS Shares.
