Just upgraded my server to Fedora 33 from F32 via command-line upgrade process.

Since then, SMB backups of my Windows 10 client are failing consistently, with this in the log file:

2020-11-15 13:00:10 Backup aborted (Non-zero exit status from smbclient)

Yesterday morning's (prior to F33 upgrade) was successful:

Update from the OP here.  Have tried multiple things, with no success, including:

Upping log level for both BackupPC (BackupPC-4.4.0-2.fc33.x86_64) and smbclient itself: the former provided loads of info, but nothing about the *nearly instant* fatal error from 'smbclient' (as shown above, it takes about 3 seconds)

Downgrading 'smbclient' on the server from samba-client-4.13.2-1.fc33.x86_64.  No change here.

Command-line basic testing of 'smbclient' works fine, BTW:

[root@osprey ~]# smbclient -U backup //new-pelican/c$
Enter backup's password:
Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
smb: \>

I've also booted the server back to the last remaining F32 kernel. Nothing changed.

On the Windows 10 client, the update "Feature update to Windows 10, version 20H2" was installed several days *before* these failures started, and FOUR successful backups, including a full, have run since then.  None since the F33 upgrade, though.

So, in sum, 'smbclient' is failing almost immediately on startup of a backup, with no indication as to bad/expired password or other authentication issue.

Anyone have additional suggestions?  Thanks.


Sure is quiet out there...so here I am again with more info. Hope this tickles someone's knowledge and that you can help.

So, I have re-installed BackupPC (via dnf reinstall). Backups still failing, but with different stuff in the log file. Here's a portion of the errlog from a failed full backup (Note exit code 256 AND the permission denied message as well on /var/lib/samba/lock/gencache.tdb )

So, I have tried running the smbclient command (see above) manually. After about 30 seconds, a sigsegv with core dump was reported, and Fedora prompted me to report the issue. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1900232 ("[abrt] samba-client: remove_do_list_queue_head(): smbclient killed by SIGSEGV").
