Re: Samba backups failing after a specific amount of data

I'll reply to myself - hehe. After thinking about it and rememering some
things, smbmount & smbclient are two different animals. amanda uses
smbclient. Some time ago, I was always able to get to another dept's win
box using smbclient. Lately it has not worked, but smbmount'ing it still
works.
You try manually smbmounting the share(s) to a local mountpoint, change
the dle to match, run amdump. I just did a small test here - seems to
work ok.

Another thought and it does not sound like it's the case but maybe all the
files & dirs don't actually reside on the box you're accessing, ie it's
using dfs mounts from other machine for which you don't have privileges.

Hrmm...excellent thought. Let's do some timings and see if it looks
suspicious. When I run it on the one I've been testing with, I get:
real 2m3.443s at 755M data.
Then just for comparison I test on another large share on the same
machine and it fails at:
real 2m47.569s at 1.1G data.
and a third....
real 3m4.338s at 744M data
So, doesn't seem to be either a set amount of data nor a set amount of
time. So what's left? I was watching 'top' output and it didn't seem
to be hitting physical limits. Set number of files?
At any rate, yes this is rather far off-topic here at this point.
Thanks for your help - lets hope my posts to Samba lists on this issue
over the past three days will trigger someone's memory.
Thanks for your help,
Fran
