I have exactly the same problem. And tried more or less the same solutions I tried passing the shared folders through nfs on anonther samba server to the windows clients also.
I reckon it is a faulty hard disk problem, but the fsck reports nothing. I tried reiser and e3, but the problem persists. Indeed, it does not happen on a regular basis, only about once every three/four days and than sometimes 3 times a day. So maybe it is a time-out problem? How could I fix that? I have two servers one Samba PDC and one NFS fileserver. PDC gets files from NFSserver through imported nfs Windows machines get to the files on NFSserv through Samba on PDC Would it be better to install samba on NFS server as well, as a BDC? Maybe it would take the load of samba server? If someone knows a solution I'd very much like to hear it as well, thanks jeroen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Roubekas Sent: vrijdag 24 september 2004 9:23 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Samba] Arrggg Samba is not behaving Dear all, A while ago I posted a message regading the way Samba is behaving and some problems that I was facing with Windows "loosing" the connection with the server... Here is another sample of what my /var/log/messages still looks like: Sep 19 15:08:01 Srv smbd-classic[3499]: [2004/09/19 15:08:01, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436) Sep 19 15:08:01 Srv smbd-classic[3499]: read_data: read failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer Whenever Windows Clients report a "Network or Hard Disk failure" I get this message in the logs and the only thing that I can do is reboot the Windows client. This is a very big problem for me as the Windows machine that matters the most plays MP3's from the server on a 24 hour basis and its interuption means big problem from my boss.... I have tried everything. From reinstalling my Linux box from scratch, reinstalling Windows2000 from scratch (SP2) changing network cards, checking the wiring of my network, checking intensity of the network cables (yes even brought a technician to assist me with that because I had no idea how to check that), connected Srv with Win2000 via a cross-over cable (just in case the switcher was malfunctioning) and tons of other scenarios. Nothing! Zilch! Unfortunately I am faced with a very serious problem since this occurs every week (sometimes more than 3 times a day!!!). Looked in google for this. Another person who had the same problem had a solution published with op_locks etc, tried that...nothing! Can someone give me a good idea?? Thank you tons!
