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:

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.


Further update from the original poster:

The Samba folks have released an update that purported to contain a fix for the 'smbclient' crash. (See https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14581), and it has been released as a Fedora 33 update (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1892745).

While the seg fault that was occurring appears to have been fixed, I am still not getting good backups via SMB. Full backups now run for several hours--pretty much the length of time they were before--but ultimately fail, with this in the log:

tarExtract: Unexpected end of tar archive (tot = 10993, num = 10240, errno = , posn = ) tarExtract: Removing partial file $Recycle.Bin/S-1-5-21-1479735809-3582899389-406748754-1003/$RYTAKUR.eml

This seems to suggest many files were passed from smbclient, but something goes wrong at the end of the process. Wondering if the Samba fix may have changed something in 'smbclient's exit codes or such?
