Samba 3.5.x smbd and nmbd both trash tdb files after some time

Reported by: Herwig Bauernfeind Owned by: Silvan Scherrer
Priority: blocker Milestone: Samba Server for eCS (OS/2) 1.3.x
Component: Samba Server Core Version: Server 3.5.x
Keywords: unkillable broken tdb files Cc:

Description (last modified by Herwig Bauernfeind)

Symptoms: 3.5.19 nmbd stops working after some arbitrary time. For smbd no mor new connection is accepted, while older one still work.

Looking into log.nmbd I see plenty of these: 

[2013/03/15 11:40:54.862000,  0] lib/util_tdb.c:385(tdb_log)
  tdb(D:\MPTN\ETC/samba/lock/wins.tdb): tdb_rec_read bad magic 0xd9fee666 at offset=6392
[2013/03/15 11:40:54.888000,  0] lib/util_tdb.c:385(tdb_log)
  tdb(D:\MPTN\ETC/samba/lock/wins.tdb): tdb_rec_read bad magic 0x42424242 at offset=5384
[2013/03/15 11:40:54.925000,  0] lib/util_tdb.c:385(tdb_log)
  tdb(D:\MPTN\ETC/samba/lock/wins.tdb): tdb_oob len 1113543791 beyond eof at 24576
[2013/03/15 11:40:54.925000,  0] lib/util_tdb.c:385(tdb_log)
  tdb(D:\MPTN\ETC/samba/lock/wins.tdb): tdb_rec_read bad magic 0x0 at offset=6704

for smbd.exe log entries look very similar.

Result is: nmbd.exe process is unkillable and smbd does not accept any new connection.

This problem also affects the client.

It appears this more critical - also smbd.exe is affected.

This thread might shed some light on the problem.

it does not imho, as it does not give the reason and also no solution. imho we still have no clue why it happens and when exactly.

as samba 3.5 is considered dead, close this ticket in favor of #208.
