I am configuring a Ubuntu 12.04LTS x64 server to use as a home file server. For storage, I created a RAID5 array with mdadm. I then created several folders within the array that are shared via Samba since the rest of my home is Windows 7.
The problem is that these network shares appear randomly drop off the network and then will reappear after a few seconds. Any in progress network writes, reads etc to or from the share when this happens fail. I don't think it is an underlying networking issue since I am using SSH to configure the server and my session isn't disconnected and I can even run commands while the shares are missing. I thought it might be the array, but I am able to do directory listings and other file activities on the array while this issue occurs.
I am using ufw, but have created a rule 'sudo ufw allow 192.168.0.0/16 to any app Samba' to open Samba access -- regardless, the issue appears to persist whether the firewall is enabled or not.
As part of my configuration, I installed logwatch and started getting the following emails:
And finally, below is my smb.conf:Code:The Samba 'panic action' script, /usr/share/samba/panic-action, was called for PID 8606 (/usr/sbin/smbd). This means there was a problem with the program, such as a segfault. Below is a backtrace for this process generated with gdb, which shows the state of the program at the time the error occurred. The Samba log files may contain additional information about the problem. If the problem persists, you are encouraged to first install the samba-dbg package, which contains the debugging symbols for the Samba binaries.

Code:# # Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux. # # # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which # are not shown in this example # # Some options that are often worth tuning have been included as # commented-out examples in this file. # - When such options are commented with ";", the proposed setting # differs from the default Samba behaviour # - When commented with "#", the proposed setting is the default # behaviour of Samba but the option is considered important # enough to be mentioned here # # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command # "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic # errors. # A well-established practice is to name the original file # "smb.conf.master" and create the "real" config file with # testparm -s smb.conf.master >smb.conf # This minimizes the size of the really used smb.conf file # which, according to the Samba Team, impacts performance # However, use this with caution if your smb.conf file contains nested # "include" statements.
