Windows 7 and Windows XP clients, OpenSUSE 11.4 (current patches) server. I can write 1 MB files but can not write any larger. I can read any file in the shared directories. Here’s the smb.conf file (transcript because I can’t email from my SUSE box any longer - but that’s a different thread):
[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/log.smbd
usershare max shares = 100
os level = 20
null passwords = yes
domain master = No
encrypt passwords = yes
public = yes
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
passdb backend = <my local value>
guest ok = yes
ldap suffix =
[Common]
writeable = yes
read list = bacula
delete readonly = yes
write list = Jim,nobody,root
path = /var/samba/common
force group = nogroup
force user = nobody
comment = Common Windows Files
user = Jim,nobody,root,bacula,@nobody,@nogroup,@root,@users
max connections = 12
inherit acls = Yes
Looking at the /var/log/samba/log.smbd indicates that the connection is getting dropped, but this only happens during writes of files larger than 1 MB. That doesn’t make any sense to my feeble little grey puddle.
Additional data - here’s the /var/log/samba/log.smbd file…
