OK, I have been banging my head into the wall on this now for two or more weeks
We have a samba server (2.2.8 then 2.2.8a) running on top of a 320 GB raid ATA-raid array with a FastTrack controller. Both the server and workstations are running through Gigabit NIC's. Every five or so minutes the workstations loose communications with the server, Then it takes 10-15 seconds for the workstations to reconnect to the server. The times are not specific, for example it can take anywhere from 1 minute to 3 hours between drop outs, but when we put a workstation under load it is (approx) 5-7 minutes between drop outs. Sometimes all stations loose the connection at once, sometimes it is only one workstation. It does not occur in any other program except Samba. If I don't get this fixed soon my boss is going to make me go back to (shutters) windows Globals section of the smb.conf file goes something like --- #Server Identification workgroup = GENESIS netbios name = EXODUS netbios aliases = INSTALLERS server string = Fedler studio Samba Server #Server Settings log file = /data/system/samba/logs/%m.log log level = 1 max log size = 5000 OS level = 99 #Security Settings security = user smb passwd file = /data/system/samba/smbpasswd encrypt passwords = yes pam password change = yes #Networking settings # interfaces = 10.0.0.16/24 # dns proxy = no wins support = yes preferred master = yes #Domain Controller propertys domain logons = yes logon drive = y: logon home = \\EXODUS\%U logon script = logon.bat domain admin group = @dAdmin [netlogon] path = /data/system/samba/netlogon comment = network Logon Share guest ok = yes writable = no share modes = no --- Any help whatsoever would be appreciated Andrew -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
