I dont' have the thread anymore to keep this as a single thread -- but
those of you that scratched your head with me about my locking up
server, I know what caused it, but not why. (And frankly, don't care
much...)
If I have a windows share mounted via smbclient onto my server, after
about 10-15 minutes, my server locks up hard. I can find no log error
messages, or any thing that hints toward problems, but BAM, after those
few minutes it just locks up.
If I don't mount that share (or unmount it before it locks up)
everything is fine. The share doesn't even have to be accessed to lock
up the server -- just mounted. I can repeat the problem consistently.
Today was my proof, since I had to restart the server (due to UPS
issues) and the entry was in my /etc/fstab file. After 3 lockups, I
remembered that the last thing I had done to "fix" the lockups a month
ago was to unmount that share, I quickly did the same, and we've been
running for over an hour now.
I was just grasping at straws a month ago, and unmounting the samba
share was just a desperate effort, so I didn't bother at the time to
remove the /etc/fstab entry. It wasn't until today that I know exactly
what one of the hundred things I tried was the difference.
Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know. Thanks for all the help I
received at the time,
-Shawn
