[Solved] SAMBA appears to crash and reset

[rd48sec]

I have been unable to use unRAID versions after 6.1.9 because my samba shares are not available on my windows 7 desktop.

I added the following to my smb-extra.conf

log level=2

syslog=3

 

It appears that SAMBA is crashing and restarting every time I try to connect from windows 7 explorer.  What would make this happen?

You could try v6.4rc, it uses samba 4.6.

Having the same problem here, but haven't logged this yet. I'll turn logging on now and see if I see this.

Tried v6.4 rc5.  Same thing.  Samba crashes and restarts when I try to access in windows 7 explorer.  I've attached the syslog.

 

I went back to 6.1.9 and everything is working again.

No idea if the problem is unRAID or the desktop, but it's on your end, as I have Windows 7 clients working with v6.3.x and v6.4rc without any issues, do you have a different win7 desktop you could try with?

I did try on a windows 7 laptop.  Same thing.  Connects with 6.1.9,  not 6.3.5.

Ok, so you know the problem is with your unRAID server, this is what I would try in order:

 

-if there's anything on Samba extra configuration remove it

-boot unRAID in safe mode

-redo flash drive, copy only key file from the old one.

I got it to work.  I re-did my flash drive and it worked.  I am able to access my shares using 6.3.5.

 

The root of the problem was my "extra" directory packages.  When I copied my extra directory back to the flash and re-booted the server,  I was not able to access my shares from windows.  The packages I was installing were gcc, g++ and libraries for Slackware 14.1 (I compile new java periodically for my YAMJ scanner).  The current Slackware version is 14.2.  I installed gcc, g++, etc... from the Slackware 14.2 depository.  And everything is working.
