 |
|
I have a sambaserver running on Gentoo 1.4rc1, samba is version 2.2.5-r1.
It shares /home/ftp, in /home/ftp/film there is another disk mounted.
Alltogether it's about 180GB of space.
Connecting this share as a network drive on a winbox works fine.
But when under heavy load, in this case Direct Connect, the connection to the samba server just drops and the samba server dissapears from the network for a couple of minutes. Then it suddenly reappears and I'm able to reconnect the network drive.
I've searched on google and some forums and the only thing I've found is an old mailing list post with a guy that shares my problem. This is from May 2000. Sadly I couldn't find a reply to the post.
The problem is with both XP and 2k clients. Don't know about 9x or smbclients.
I'm reachable at icq: 25472186.

Edit: The post I found
| Quote: |
I am running Samba 2.0.7 on RedHat 6.1 (2.2.14-12 kernel). My client is
Window2000.
Everything seems to be working fine in my network (I can browse, make
connections, etc., etc.). However, under heavy use I find that I "drop" a
connection between my Windows2000 machine and Samba. It happens predictably
after about 2000 to 2500 files.
If, for example, I make a connection as in:
net use z: \\sabino\share /USER:user
and then
d:>xcopy *.* z: /S
Everything starts out OK. About 2,000 files are transferred and then I get
the error message:
File creation error - The network path was not found.
If I do a
net use
I see that the connection to Z: is reported to be "disconnected".
I drop it with
net use z: /d
and then I can reconnect again (usually, sometimes I have to wait a while
before I can make the connection again).
I started the daemons with
/nmbd -D
/smbd -D
from the /bin directory (so I am not using inted).
Any suggestions on what I should try to debug this? Or is this a bug to be
reported to the development team?
