I get the following fairly often: (Reformatted to Samba's normal log style...) Error writing 5 bytes to client. -1. (Connection reset by peer) [2004/11/15 17:10:32, 0] lib/util_sock.c:send_smb(647) write_socket: Error writing 5 bytes to socket 24: ERRNO = Connection reset by peer [2004/11/15 17:10:32, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket(455) write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Connection reset by peer [2004/11/15 17:10:32, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(430) Samba has it's own logfile format. Each error message starts with the timestamp followed by the file:function name(line number) at which the message was generated. The text following this header is the actual message. Yeah, it get's kind of messy when you log to syslog. I suggest you set "debug timestamp = no" in your smb.conf. The above errors (on the surface, at least) talk about Samba's smbd daemon being unable to send a message to the client. That confuses me. It seems as though the client has dropped the TCP connection for some reason. ...either that, or there's some other problem related to the network I/O. This is all very superficial. I think debugging this from the GFS side first makes the most sense.
