I have a very strange issue with a samba server running Woody. The server has run just fine for the past 8 months, this just started today.
All of a sudden, the server will reject all network communication on eth0, won't respond to pings, no ssh, no samba. (ssh gives the message : No route to host) However, if I ssh in through eth1 I am able to ping addresses _from_ eth0. If I ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 everything starts working again. The server has two network cards, a 3c590 (eth0) and a bcm5700 (eth1) eth0 is the main interface and the one that all clients use to connect. It's on a 10.x.x.x network eth1 is connected to a mirror server which uses drbd and is on a 192.168.x.x subnet when eth0 goes unresponsive, I can ping 10.x.x.x addresses just fine, even ones across our router. The only strange thing that I noticed is that each time this has happened, when I do a "ps ax" the process listing pauses midway, and hangs for a few seconds before displaying the next process (an smbd process) there is nothing in the syslog, ifconfig doesn't show any errors on the interface Does anyone have any ideas? I am completely stumped. Thanks, Mark Roach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
