[SOLVED] Samba is crashing when windows clients connect

Hi all,

Recently started seeing weird behavior.  I installed Arch on this box a few weeks ago.  It has been working fine, up until two days ago. To my knowledge nothing has changed, so I really have no idea where to start working.

When I try to connect to a share from  my laptop, I can browse through a few directories, but I then get the error "The specified network name is no longer available".  If I map the drive, I get errors stating that the device is already in use or something like that.  Here's some info from the logs on the server:

Any thoughts? Samba is running the latest version.  Kernel is 2.6.34

Hi Fox2k,

When posting long output or code, please wrap it in code tags. If you don't know how, click the BBCode link and it will show you what's possible. I did this one. I hope that I got the editing correct.

Thanks, skottish.  I was looking for a similar option but I'm not too familiar with BBcode.  Will keep in mind for next time.

Never mind, problem solved.  Apparently tor generated 40 gigs worth of log files and filled up the drive, causing samba to segfault.

Note to others: If you need to troubleshoot tor and you put the daemon in debug logging mode, make sure to change it back.

"debug": for everything louder than info. It is quite loud indeed.

They ain't kidding.
