similar to: Samba logs fill up disk with inotify errors, smbd 100% CPU

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]:

I've got a samba server that's occasionally spewing inotify errors. The classic, "smbd/notify_inotify.c:inotify_handler No data on inotify fd?" type errors solved by kernel change notify = false Now, everything is working perfectly on this box unless one or two users leave files open from specific machines (this is as far as I can tell, it's hard to get good info from the

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?! [2008/01/21 07:02:59, 0] smbd/notify_inotify.c:inotify_handler(234) That entry appears a billion zillion times in the log file until the file system is filled up leaving no space on the device and sending

Ello -- I'm having an issue using Samba 3.0.25b on Linux 2.6.22.7 (Also had it occur, though more frequently with 3.0.25) where the log file will be filled to disk capacity with : [2008/02/20 11:30:58, 0] smbd/notify_inotify.c:inotify_handler(234) No data on inotify fd?!

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]

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. However, the Windows explorer app doesn't "notice" the removal, and the user still sees the files. If they F5/refresh explorer, the files indeed have disappeared. If I have two explorer windows open

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.

Ello -- For the past few months our Samba installation, currently at Version 3.0.28 has filling the log. file with [2008/04/17 13:25:30, 0] smbd/notify_inotify.c:inotify_handler(234) No data on inotify fd?! This is started to happen almost weekly and it continues to output those lines until the log partition is full, then leaves a single process spiked to 100% until I kill it. There is

Please forgive me if direct email is not appropriate, but I am at my wit's end. I am running Kernel 2.6.35.2. Previously, I was running 2.6.32.something (don't know at this point). Samba is 3.4.8-59. 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

Hi, I'm going through my messages log and I've noticed a large amount of the following error going on. What affect would this have on the smb client that is connected to those pid's? Mar 11 11:35:24 process1 smbd[25349]: [2010/03/11 11:35:24, 0] smbd/notify_inotify.c:293(inotify_setup) Mar 11 11:35:24 process1 smbd[25349]: Failed to init inotify - Too many open files

Hello, I've a problem on my system with inotify. In the smbd logfile are shown a lot messages like this: [2015/06/10 11:15:21.644453, 0, pid=57030, effective(12700, 100), real(0, 0)] smbd/notify_inotify.c:297(inotify_setup) Failed to init inotify - Too many open files [2015/06/10 11:15:23.968497, 0, pid=57030, effective(12700, 100), real(0, 0)] smbd/notify_inotify.c:297(inotify_setup)

Hello List ! oh my....i have a very severe problem here, and i absolutely need assistance... my samba version is 3.2.6-3.1-2034-SUSE-CODE11 on an opensuse 11.1 though this thing happened on an ubuntu intrepid with 3.2.4 too: the smbd freezes the whole system here.....for no obvious reason i already tested everything, and everything works perfectly, untill 2 or more people want to work with it...

Dear Group members! I am having problems with my Samba PDC setup since many months, concerning the reliability of the connections from the client to the server. I am thankful for any hint or advice!!!!

hi, the current code has changed include linux/inotify.h to sys/inotify.h since 2006-01-17, but that won't work with inotify*.h as documented in the wiki. One has to either revert back to linux/inotify.h, or add #include <sys/inotify-syscalls.h> to both configure.in and src/lib/ioloop-notify-inotify.c Or, just symlink sys/inotify.h -> linux/inotify.h. That's on Debian 3.1

Hi, dovecot (1.0.alpha5) won't compile with inotify support because inotify.h can't be found. I'm running Linux 2.6.15-rc5 with headers from 2.6.12 (like most vendors). I've noticed that beagle and other inotify-enabled applications ships with an inotify.h. Could this be scheduled for alpha6? :-)

Hi, I note that dovecot supported inotify from -test77, and now the Linux kernel supports it starting from linux-2.6.13-rc3. So in theory I should be set to go. I'm using an -mm kernel, and it was built with inotify, on FC4/devel. However when trying to build with it using --with-notify=inotify, I always seem to be getting this message: checking for poll... yes configure: error:

I've added this to our klibc copy in the udev tree to support the recently added Inotify.

(dovecot v1.2.16) I've notice the log notices about increasing /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances on my servers, and started wondering if inotify works for network/cluster filesystems.. I found this: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=311194 which says that there's no mechanism for one node to tell another node that a directory changed for GPFS.. And I
