1 TB storage + samba share

minim · 03-03-2011, 06:28 AM

Hello,

We have set up a dedicated server with Centos5.4(Kernel 2.6.18-164.el5PAE). In this we have mounted a external storage device above 1 Tb. And also we have shared this storage device in samba share.

Sometime when we access this large storage in windows machine the server hangs and we were pushed to restart the server. Past few days it often happens. How to break down this issue and is there some thing that we have to look in specific area to avoid this? Please advise.

Thanks,
Minim

What is the make/model of this external storage device?
Have you looked at the log files?
