Samba 3.0.22 generates a panic error when Norton Ghost (Windows XP) attempts to backup onto my samba backup share. Here is a trace from the log: mediacenter (192.168.1.153) connect to service backup3 initially as user aelbe r (uid=1000, gid=1001) (pid 11902) [2007/02/05 01:26:59, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(36) =============================================================== [2007/02/05 01:26:59, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(37) INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 11 in pid 11902 (3.0.22) Please read the Trouble-Shooting section of the Samba3-HOWTO [2007/02/05 01:26:59, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(39) From: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf [2007/02/05 01:26:59, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(40) =============================================================== [2007/02/05 01:26:59, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1554) PANIC: internal error [2007/02/05 01:26:59, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1562) BACKTRACE: 11 stack frames: #0 /usr/sbin/smbd(smb_panic2+0x94) [0x8225010] #1 /usr/sbin/smbd [0x820b85c] #2 [0x7fef41d8] #3 /usr/sbin/smbd(write_file+0x794) [0x8086e24] #4 /usr/sbin/smbd(reply_write_and_X+0x4b4) [0x80a2c84] #5 /usr/sbin/smbd [0x80d6c9c] #6 /usr/sbin/smbd(process_smb+0x1c8) [0x80d7374] #7 /usr/sbin/smbd(smbd_process+0x248) [0x80d80bc] #8 /usr/sbin/smbd(main+0x650) [0x82b0388] #9 /lib/libc.so.6 [0x7a30710] #10 /lib/libc.so.6 [0x7a30934] This time it crashed after 26 minutes; it always varies, and sometimes it will even get a few hours before disconnecting. Windows sees a "Delayed Write Failed" error. The Samba server is running on a gentoo distro on a Kurobox. Of note: Jumbo frames are in use on this network.
please reopen with more information if this still happens with the latest 3.x release.
