Hi,
Have recently upgraded from Samba 2.2 on Debian Woody to Samba 3.0.24-6
on Debian Etch.
Some PC's have now reported errors similar to this one.
Windows - delay write failed.
Windows was unable to save all the data for the file
\Device\WinDfs\H:00186bf9\psctpdc\bpeters\thunderbird\ImapMail\10.1.1.10\INBOX.msf
The data has been lost.
This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or
network connection.
This seems to be related to when the users are using Thunderbird.
Thunderbird on each PC is set up to use a profile which is stored under
the users H: drive which is the home folder supplied by Samba. All the
profiles are set to pick up mail over IMAP and the actual mail is stored
under a Maildir in each users home directory.
Funny thing is that I can't see an INBOX.msf file anywhere. I'm not
sure what Windows is trying to do here.
The server runs dual SCSI HDD's as RAID 1 from an adaptec SCSI RAID 2110s.
uname -a gives
Linux psctpdc 2.6.18-4-486 #1 Mon Mar 26 16:39:10 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
and this is the output from the samba log file which I fairly sure is
the right PC on the day when the error appeared.
Thanks for any help.
