Package: samba Version: 3.0.22-1 Severity: important
The strangest thing has happened today - I was watching a movie streamed from a samba share when the transfer suddenly froze and all attempts to reconnect to the samba server via Windows or Linux clients just hung. I stopped samba and kill -9'ed the one remaing unresponsive smbd - problem is, I cannot start samba again: butters:/home/chris# /etc/init.d/samba start Starting Samba daemons: nmbd smbd just hangs there, with the curser after the final 'd'. It's not a timeout either, I waited for 30 minutes before killing it via ctrl+c. Not even a reboot helps, samba even blocks the boot process in the same way and ctrl+c doesn't work. I have to start in single mode to get the box up at all. The logs show nothing. What could have been so horribly corrupted by the hanging smbd that it refuses to start now?
