I’ve recently experienced a problem that a machine
running Mandrake 9.1 will freeze and upon reboot complain of and fix numerous inode errors.
I’ve narrowed down the cause to something related to samba. The crashes only occur when someone (or
some automated process as has been occurring) attempts to browse samba
shares. Specifically, the browsing
machine runs XP pro. I caught a
crash in action just now, and saw these messages printed to screen: (pages of messages similar to the
following one) [<c0109093>] system_call+0x3/0x40 [kernel] Code: 8b 00 4b 89 1d 88 02 7e c0 a3 80 02 7e c0 c7 40 04 80
02 7e <0>Kernel panic: Aeii,
killing interrupt handler! At this point the system is entirely nonresponsive
and the lights on the attached keyboard blink. What’s going on here? The logs show nothing useful. I am now running smartd
thanks to the recent recommendation of a list user, but it’s not giving
any complaints. I originally
thought the drive was having trouble and caused these problems upon
encountering access errors, but these errors occur consistently with samba use
and cannot be duplicated with any other type of drive access. FYI, I have all the updates applied. That makes this smbd
