Hello! I use SuSE 7.3 on a file server with Samba 2.2.1a (shipped with SuSE 7.3). But under high load, the SuSE Kernel panics. I am now downloading kernel 2.4.17 to compile and install myself. And I want to update Samba to 2.2.2, because of some oplock fixes. Is a ready SuSE rpm somewhere available? If not, which configure options have I to use in order to overwrite the old binaries and that the binaries searches smb.conf in /etc/samba? -- CU, Christoph
simply download samba source rpm, samba tarball, edit samba spec file, copy in tarball, voila. rpm makes it easy to build your own upgrade packages.

Hi Christoph, this should do: <--snap ./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/samba --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --libdir=/usr/lib/samba --sysconfdir=/etc/samba --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-privatedir=/etc/samba --with-lockdir=/var/lock/samba --with-configdir=/etc/samba --with-swatdir=/usr/lib/samba/swat --with-smbwrapper --with-dce-dfs --with-automount --with-smbmount --with-msdfs --with-libsmbclient --with-acl-support --with-winbind --with-vfs --with-quotas snap ---> Ciao ;-) Robert - DE

TNX, a lot! The fileserver runs very well now! Kernel 2.4.17 + Samba 2.2.2 is a very stable combination! I stresstested it by coyping and moving lots of data around (about 30 GB) and the server runs and runs and runs... :) Another problem: NFS! When I try to mount a directory via nfs, the fileserver prints in /var/log/messages: ---------------------------------------- Jan 3 13:59:45 fileserver mountd[18775]: NFS mount of /home/install attempted from 192.168.2.91 Jan 3 13:59:45 fileserver mountd[18775]: /home/install has been mounted by 192.168.2.91 on the client side, the mount command needs a loooong time to exit. When I make a "ps axf | grep mount", then I get: ------------------------------------------ 1911 pts/5 D 0:00 \_ mount -t nfs 192.168.2.70:/public/install ./install Does anyone know, what goes wrong? -- CU, Christoph

Hi Markus, can you or somebody on this list explain to me why nfs-mounts need portmap on the client? Or is there some documentation which I oversaw? I have "Building Internet Firewalls, 2nd Ed." in which RPC-based services such as nfs are described as this: server registers to portmapper ... client asks portmapper "where is nfs" portmapper responds "nfs ist on port <abcd>" ... client requests server I have googled a bit but never found a hint why portmap must be running on the client. If I don't have portmap the mount succeeds after a long time and has no further delays when accessing files. If I start portmap, mount the share, and kill portmap afterwards everything seems to do work. Can someone enlighten me, please? Peter
lockd? quotad? portmap is useful.

I noticed no one addressed the subject of whether the kernal panic is samba related or kernel related. What lead you to believe it was either? Or are you trying a shotgun approach.

Well, the keyboard LED's were blinking, no disk activity, no network activity... I couldn't login via network (ssh/telnet), nor directly from the terminal. A hard reset was a must. As of this writing I am running 2.4.17 now. I am going to update Samba (TNX for the answers, btw) and will retest, if that fixed the problems.

Which kernel do you run? Do you use the SuSE Kernel coming with SuSE 7.3? Which version of Samba do you use? -- CU, Christoph
