Description Andreas Turriff 2004-11-21 11:54:19 UTC

Since upgrading to Samba 3.0.9, I'm seeing frequent hard lockups of my Linux server (Celeron 800Mhz, Coppermine core, 512MBytes RAM, ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86") when accessing Samba shares from a Windows 2000SP4 client. This has not happened with Samba 3.0.8-r1. No log entries pertaining to the crashes could be found, the machine just suddenly fails to respond completely (no response whatsoever to network or console). The only recourse is a hardware reset.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Samba 3.0.9
2. Access Samba share

Actual Results:  
After an unspecified amount of time, the machine crashes

Expected Results:  
Continued to operate normally

may be network card rtl8139 and kernel 2.6.x .....

Nope... is a National Semiconductor NIC. Not sure what type off-hand, runs with the natsemi module.

I'm not any more sure this is a samba problem, rather than samba exposing a hardware problem I'm having. Closing.
