Broken pipe me too... HEEELP please

[Gilles SIMON]

Hello,

I have exactly same problem.
My config is Linux Mandrake 7.1, upgraded kernel to 2.2.17.
I use Samba 2.0.7, and the shares are on ReiserFS partitions.

I had to completely disable all locking :-( , because files where not
unlocked, and in log.smbd I found messages like you said.
I still have problem when copying files (as you), when running programs
(they reside on a share), an on login (sometimes have to retry a login).
Those problems range from freezing the application programup to needing
reboot the client machine (Win98).

Very annoying, impossible to work reliably with Word or Excel.
I used Samba 2.0.6 on UnixWare2 without any of these problems. I
transferred the server, using same smb.conf, and I use the same DNS
config (left on the ancient server).

Has somebody any clues ? I am in the dark. Never seen this in 5 year of
Samba use.

Thank for help

Gilles SIMON
