CIFS Server problems

[Christoph Ernst_2]

We have a CIFS server running on a rp4640 with HP-UX 11.23. The CIFS server version is A.01.11.02.
Since a couple of days we have poor performance with the CIFS connection.
In the CIFS server logfile i often find the following error messages:

[2008/05/23 14:06:39, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436)
read_data: read failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer
[2008/05/23 14:07:25, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436)
read_data: read failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer
[2008/05/23 14:07:53, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(436)
read_data: read failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer

Can anybody help with that issue?

Thx in advance...

The log entry means that the client is dropping the network connection - usually it is a bad switch/hub/card. You'll have to track it down.

You should get off of that CIFS version - it is unsupported. The only reason to be on an A.01 (Samba 2.2) version is if you are stuck on HP-UX 11.0 for some reason. On 11.23 - hmmmmm, I did not know that we ever released A.01 on 11.23 - anyway, on 11.23 you should be on A.02.03.

Thx for your answer, Eric.

I updated the server to CIFS A.02.03.03. No i still get the same error message but with the IP adress of the clients
[2008/05/27 10:09:42, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_data(528)
read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client 141.49.11.81. Error = Connection timed out

I will check the network and come back with a result.
