So I'm using cifs to do my backup: a bigfile at the backup-server is generated at backup-server. I mount the backup-server to my machine via mount.cifs. I mount the bigfile on local machine via loop-device as ext2. I do backup to this loop-device via rsync (on local-machine).
So to clarify, your backup is writing to bigfile? This backup method appears cumbersome at best. Is it possible bigfile is being written to or read from by any other local or remote process? i.e. Could more than one CIFS client be connected to the share?
There was a security update of package "samba-client-3.5.4-5.3.1" on Feb. 10th. Since this time a noticed 4 machine crashes: Feb 11th, 16th, 20th, 22nd
What do you mean by machine crash, does the kernel panic? Please provide a core dump: http://opensuse-man-ja.berlios.de/opensuse-html/cha.tuning.kexec.html#cha.tu...
I cannot provide more information, as I don't have any access to the console.
You do not have access to the server console, In this case we are concerned with client information.
My logfile (/var/log/messages) only shows this information:
Feb 22 04:50:01 ipx20178 /usr/sbin/cron[12167]: (root) CMD (/root/bin/rsync_back up.sh) Feb 22 04:50:22 nest kernel: [172609.017730] CIFS VFS: server 192.168.10.91 of type Samba 3.2.5 returned unexpected error on SMB posix open, disabling posix open support. Check if server update available.
