Samba crashes on Solaris with Veritas Cluster
We recently transferred our Samba server to a cluster of two Sun systems running Solaris 9 with Veritas Cluster Server. We used Samba 3.0.7. Since then Samba seems to crash every 2 to 3 days, always around noon. The symptoms are that at first people who are connected lose the ability to access the shared filesystems, followed a few minutes later by nobody being able to create new connections either. Failing over the Samba service from one box to the other clears the problem up for a couple days till it recurs. Simply stopping and restarting Samba on the server where it resides does not help.
We did not have this problem at all with the old Samba server, which was running 2.2.8 on Solaris 8 with no clustering (on a single box).
We have tried downgrading the Samba version but the problem persists. We are not sure if it is an issue with Solaris 9, or with Veritas Cluster Server, or what.
I didn't find anything on this site related to running Samba on a cluster of Solaris systems. I will continue searching other sites as well, but I thought I'd post this here. Has anybody seen an issue similar to what I describe where Sambe periodically quits working?

MASKTEST(1) Test Suite MASKTEST(1)
NAME
masktest - Find differences in wildcard matching between Samba's implementation and that of a remote server.
SYNOPSIS
masktest {//server/share} [-U user%pass] [-d debuglevel] [-W workgroup] [-n numloops] [-s seed] [-a] [-E] [-M max protocol] [-f filechars]
[-m maskchars] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
masktest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour between Samba's own implementation and that of a remote server. It will run
generate random filenames/masks and check if these match the same files they do on the remote file as they do on the local server. It will
display any differences it finds.
This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers.
OPTIONS
-U user%pass
Specify the user and password to use when logging on on the shares. This parameter can be specified twice (once for the first server,
once for the second).
-s seed
Seed the random number generator with the specified value.
-n numops
Set the number of operations to perform.
-a
Print the operations that are performed.
-M max_protocol
Maximum protocol to use.
-f
Specify characters that can be used when generating file names. Default: abcdefghijklm.
-E
Abort when difference in behaviour is found.
-m maskchars
Specify characters used for wildcards.
-v
Be verbose
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.0 of the Samba suite.
