For some strange reason, a samba setup which was previously working has
suddenly stopped working, and I can't figure out why.
The symptoms is that attempts to write some files onto a samba
filesystem take a long time, and then error out with the error message
(in Windows dialog box):
"Cannot create or replace <filename>: The specified network resource or
device is no longer available."
On the Samba server side, the associated error messages are:
[2002/08/04 21:17:26, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436)
read_data: read failure for 2688. Error = Connection reset by peer

by peer.

request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 367 on port 1029 for dev = 303, inode = 621499, file_id = 37
The client is running Windows ME. The server is running Linux 2.4.19
with Samba 2.2.3a-6 (from Debian Woody).
I wasn't at all sure whose fault it was, so I tried various combinations
of Linux 2.4.9, 2.4.19-rc1. and Samba 2.2.1a-9. None of these changed
the symptoms, so I'm relatively confident that it wasn't caused by a
recent software update (since I backed everything out to several earlier
versions, and it didn't make the problem go away or even change
significantly.)
Any hints for what I might do to fix this would be greatly appreciated!!
