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! Chris
No possibility of moving to a Linux client, or is the client used for other stuff also? Network cards on either side could also be a problem, see http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-Mar/2647.html also 2649.html and http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-Mar/2653.html which pinned it down to hardware.
