Samba problem

After update for OS4.1fe is samba started to crahs. In matter a fact it generated some serious Hard drive problems. :( My Amiga doesn't boot anymore, got a block ID error. I have SFS boot partitions.

Problems was that yeaterday when I transferred some files from my NAS box to Amiga, samba generated about 1,6gb nmbd.log. I would hapily tell what is says, but I can't open or delete it. It has that block ID error.

I checked sfssalv but it doesn't seem to do anything else than udelete files???

How do I contact Olaf Barthel? Mail address on Os4depot.net doesn't work. Google doesn't help either. I saved Grimreaper error log.

I know this bug, had this one too a few times, not sure what i did to make it go away

If you have a sourceforge account you could try it there

@utri007

If you restart your machine, without SAMBA being started/init. Maybe you can delete such file (could be locked by SAMBA start/init).


Dunnot if it helps, but about the created .log you can in SAMBA:lib/smb.conf add/change to:

log file = /T/SMBlog.%m
max log size = 50

That's interesting. I didn't know the Samba configuration was bound to the IP address.

I got this error when I upgraded AOS to the latest version. I made a backup, formatted the harddrive and copied the data back. I have since bought the enhancement package which includes a newer version of SFS. Don't know if it helpt though.

I don't know what caused the error or if there really was an error and why but it seems to be something recent.

Problem solve, it reason was change from static IP to DHCP.

Thanks Olaf.

Few notes.

This generated about 160mb error log in a few days??

Reason to change DHCP was that my Huawei router blocks all traffic to static IPs. It not a problem with Amiga OS4, but it is problem with my 68k Amigas, as a Genesis doesn't have a DHCP client.

Samba works, but I can't use AExplorer or netmount command.
