when i start serving files i keep getting the below errors in my dmesg
& /var/log/messages.after a few hours of serving server totally
hangs(not accessible via ssh) & has to be hard rebooted manully
This was with a MUCH older version of Samba, and a much older version of
Linux, so take this with a grain or two of salt... Heck, use the whole
shaker :)
I've found in the past that SMB connections seem to time out after some
arbitrary idle time... Windows -> Windows seems to automatically
reconnect the session, but Samba client -> Windows server doesn't. I
solved this on one system with a cron job that did an arbitrary access
of the SMB mountpoints every 10 minutes.... I think I just used a "df >
/dev/null" command to do this as that 'touches' all mounted file systems.
