 Posted: Thu May 13, 2004 9:25 pm Post subject: Samba hangs at mount / i/o errors, erratic behaviour |
 |
|
I'm using Samba to mount a SMB share from my Mac (ok, I chose SMB, now let's proceed) on my Gentoo Linux Server. It worked fine on my previous server, now it has erratic behaviour.
First, the config. I just emerged Samba, no config modif and no service has to start up. It's just for the system to understand smbfs. Then I added this in my /etc/fstab :
| Code: | | 10.0.0.10/g4doc /home/xspirlet/g4 smbfs credentials=/home/xspirlet/.smbcredentials,uid=xspirlet,gid=users 0 0 |
10.0.0.10 is my Mac's IP. The mount point and smbcredentials file are ok.
Now here come the problems. When I try to pount the "g4" directory, it takes forever, and eventually outputs a "input/output error". The directory seems to be mounted, though. But sometimes I can't ls it. It stucks when I try to (or try to cd). Maye if I let it run long enough it will work, but I don't want to stand here watching for hours. And it's not cool, period.
Once again, remember all this worked until not so long ago. And please forgive me if this seems confusing, but the problems are erratic, I cannot reproduce them (although it seems to very consistently not work lately).
I don't even know where I should have a look. Maybe something on the Mac side? I double-checked the smb.conf on the Mac, I'm pretty sure Windows file sharing has started nicely, and btw here's the share definition from the Mac's smb.conf : | Code: | [g4doc]
path = /Volumes/Edoras/xs/Documents/
public = yes
writable = yes
browseable = yes
follow symlinks = yes |
Anyone has a clue of where I should investigate? It's been so frustrating that I have even commented the line in my fstab and deleted the mountpoint. But I will need this to work, eventually!
Thanks in advance.

Seems to work better since I moved from pure-ftpd to vsftpd (quite faster, BTW!) -- the fact that no one ever answered my original post makes me think that pushing it up won't bring more results this time. Never mind...

Thats a bit of a shame, since I'm having the exact same problems.
This calls for a shameless *bump* 
Does it have anything to do with windows name resolving perhaps? I have no clue as to how this stuff is supposed to work...
You're not accidentally using a Linksys LNE100 network card with tulip driver are you? |
