E.g., out of disk space, strange file permissions?
yep, seems that's the problem indeed; a while after filing the bug rep I had the same suspect. Still, I'm not clear why it'd happen: fs was 100% full ie filled beyond mke2fs -m limit, but there's still ~10 MB avail for root only, and: # ls -l /var/run/samba/locking.tdb -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40200 2007-08-28 21:05 /var/run/samba/locking.tdb so it seems that's root stuff and shouldn't have failed to write/expand it. Log msg is also a bit confusing, it says 'failed (Success)' :-S Anyway, samba shows poor/bad behaviour here (ie buggy), it went into a tight loop, restarting smbd and firing off ~1000 panic msgs in a few mins and filling up logs. Finally, there's the last log bits: [2007/08/28 09:53:48, 0] lib/fault.c:dump_core(168) unable to change to /var/log/samba/cores/smbdrefusing to dump core [2007/08/28 09:53:48, 0] smbd/server.c:main(847) there's no such /var/log/samba/cores/smbdrefusing and no core dump; /var/log is on another partition with plenty of space. thanks -- paolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
