Hi,

I've setup and installed a new Linux server running Sme Server V7 (using Samba 
3.0.10) and using Windows XP workstations.

I'm having a problem in that when installing some software onto the server 
samba share, I receive the following errors in my messages file 

Sep 26 01:28:48 dragonsvr smbd[27407]: [2006/09/26 01:28:48, 0] 
lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(430)
Sep 26 01:28:48 dragonsvr smbd[27407]:   write_socket_data: write failure. 
Error = Connection reset by peer
Sep 26 01:28:48 dragonsvr smbd[27407]: [2006/09/26 01:28:48, 0] 
lib/util_sock.c:write_socket(455)
Sep 26 01:28:48 dragonsvr smbd[27407]:   write_socket: Error writing 51 bytes 
to socket 23: ERRNO = Connection reset by peer
Sep 26 01:28:48 dragonsvr smbd[27407]: [2006/09/26 01:28:48, 0] 
lib/util_sock.c:send_smb(647)
Sep 26 01:28:48 dragonsvr smbd[27407]:   Error writing 51 bytes to client. -1. 
(Connection reset by peer)

and I get a windows error - "Windows delayed write failed" and to check the 
computer hardware or network connections. The installation may abort or 
sometimes even continues for a while longer before receiving more errors and 
finally aborting.

The errors only appear during the software installation, which is 
large(1.4Gb), and not in the usual day to day operation of samba.

This is happening on more than 1 XP workstation, so I do not believe the 
problem is there. Nor is it happening in the same part of the software 
installation, but generally towards the middle/end of the install.

Running top, I see the smbd process taking between 5 and 15% of the cpu and 
the load average is 5.49, 3.08, 2.29 (not sure what that means, or what it 
should be).

I've searched for a solution, but there appears to be a lot of similar 
problems with no solutions.

I don't know if this is a network issue, a server hardware issue, samba issue 
or anything else, nor do I know how to start tracking this down.

Any suggestions on troubleshooting or solving this issue much appreciated at 
this point.

Martin
