SuSE 8.2 & Samba 2.2.7a-SuSE system crash
I have a problem with samba, it completely locks the machine when transfering files. My network consists of Windows machines exept for the linux file/web server. The linux machine crashes with caps lock and scroll lock flashing when transfering files to or from it, almost everytime on files larger than 500MB. I have updated kernel and samba via Yast Online Update. I find nothing in any log files. The computer is a PII450 on a no brand mainboard the disks are on a PCI RAID-card HighPoint 366 to overcome the 32GB limit. Is there anything I can do to debug this further, or do you have any direct advice from previous experiances?

socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 This is the only difference I see from mine.....I've transferred gigabytes worth of data without problems. This is all I can tell just from the smb.conf file. It may be something else....for now try this. Good luck, Oskar

I too had simular problems running samba. It turned out that I had to turn off acpi and apm. Before that the server would crash everyother day. I now have up times of over 90 days on the same server. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998
