Hi,
Thought I posted this already two weeks ago. Haven't seen any reactions
yet, so I post it again
We got the following problem here:
Every now and then, users are unable to save Word or Excel documents on our
Samba server. We already tried a couple of things: disabling oplocks,
increasing oplock break wait time, putting the documents on a new share,
... but to no success so far.
The problem seems difficult to reproduce, but we do have one log level 10
file and a tcpdump.
the only errors we get in the logs are one or more of the following:
- read_data: read failure 4. Error = Connection reset by peer
( lib/util_sock.c:read_data(434) )
- Error: oplock break from client and no oplock granted on this file
( smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(761) )
- oplock_break: client failure in oplock break in file ...
( smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(833) )
- oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds.
( smbd/reply.c:reply_lockingX(4480) )
- Panic: failed to set gid
( lib/util_sec.c:assertgid(111)
lib/util.c:smb_panic(1092) )
We're running Samba versions 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 and we're having these
problems with both versions.
On our clients we have Win98, WinNT and Win2000, mostly Office 97 , a few
office 2000.
Problem occurs with every Win/Office version.
Any ideas/suggestions?
