  • Samba Errors (CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -11 or ret -28) RHEL 5

    Posted on

    I have been getting the following types of errors across a lot of servers for some time:

    messages-20131122:Nov 22 01:25:59 Server1 kernel: CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -11, wrote 0
    messages-20131122-Nov 22 01:26:00 Server2 kernel: CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 47 mid 59156
    messages-20131122:Nov 22 01:26:00 Server2 kernel: CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -11, wrote 0
    messages-20131122-Nov 22 01:26:00 Server1 kernel: CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 47 mid 51207
    messages-20131122:Nov 22 01:26:00 Server1 kernel: CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -11, wrote 0

    I have already tied the suggestion

    https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/62912

    It didnt help. I have also found references to

    echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/OplockEnabled

    I have also tried this without success. These occur quite regularly and over a standard weekend I end up with some 12,000 related messages over a few hundred servers.

    Previously we were running Samba 3.0.xx but have recently upgraded to samba 3X to deal with a problem in winbind/AD. Sample rpm list is below. If more information is required I will provide what I can

    pam_smb-1.1.7-7.2.1
    pam_smb-1.1.7-7.2.1
    libsmbclient-3.0.33-3.29.el5_6.2
    samba3x-3.6.6-0.136.el5
    samba3x-winbind-3.6.6-0.136.el5
    samba3x-client-3.6.6-0.136.el5
    samba3x-common-3.6.6-0.136.el5
