Hi list. I maintain a samba file server for a some company that uses it for sharing database files for their windows based administration program. Currently we experience many problems with a program named "Business Organizer" that based on MS access. The program often crashes with error messages. Tech support complain about disconnection with the database and poor network reliability and advice us to upgrade to win2003 server... I am a Linux ideologist(as we all) and would not believe in that solution but there always may be some trick as my samba configuration is very basic. Do anyone have any experience running samba in mission critical environment? Did you have it running smoothly without any disconnections? I always have this message repeated in /var/log/messages: Jul 20 10:14:29 linux smbd[31608]: register_message_flags: tdb_fetch failed Jul 20 10:15:28 linux smbd[31608]: [2004/07/20 10:15:28, 0] smbd/connection.c:register_message_flags(220)
Asking google about it didn't give me any good... Anyway I don't believe that it may cause that crashes. Here is my smb.conf: [GLOBAL] workgroup = KARTING netbios name = smbserv server string = KARTING-SERVER guest account = nobody security = share printing = cups printcap name = cups #socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 [PUBLIC] comment = Public space path = /home/fileserv guest ok = yes guest only = yes read only = no create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 [printers] comment = Stylus Color 980 printer path = /var/spool/samba browseable = yes public = yes print command = lp -c -d%p -o raw; rm %s lpq command = lpstat -o %p lprm command = cancel %p %j print ok = yes use client driver = yes guest ok = yes I commented out that socket options as they don't seem to help. Printing is poorly configured but it is not critical at this point. The machine is p4 1.8 256ram. Running fedora core 1(samba is upgraded). For some reason, after upgrading samba to 3.0.4-2 with rpm -Uvh I don't have any samba logs in it logdir in /var/log/samba. smbd.log and nmbd.log seem to be created but they are empty. Can anyone give me some tips to fine tune samba as tomorrow we will have 2003server on another machine here for testing and the one that works better will stay. Should I say Linux should take that race? Best Regards Stiven Andre. PS: if anyone is really interested in that test feel free to contact me by phone 054-7654037-Stiven or ask me letter about test results by mail. -- GON mail server scanned this email for viruses and dangerous content. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
