Hey Team,
Hoping anyone here can shed some light or advice on the following issue I am having. Okay so I currently have a Backup Solution running on my Windows Machines called Storagecraft Shadowprotect. For anyone unfamiliar it's basically just a BMR Backup Solution that takes continuous incremental backups of the system.
This is teamed with another program called Storagecraft Imagemanager that takes care of Verification, Replication, Retention and Consolidation.
So basically my setup has all the Windows machines backing up to an Ubuntu 14.04 machine, which has the folders shared out through samba. My problem is that Imagemanager targets these folders in order to pull all the files together in whats called consolidation. It's a constant read/write process as it does this, and the Imagemanager is getting the following error:
\xxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxx\xxxxxxx\xxxxxxx (xxxxxx)\C_VOL-b001-i16497-cd-cw.spi Fatal I/O error on smb://\xxxxxxxxx\xxxxxxxx\xxxxxxx\xxxxxxx (xxxxxx)\C_VOL-b001-i16353-cd.spi offset 25aca800 on read (-31 A device attached to the system is not functioning.)
This happens on a large amounts of Images over and over.
Does anyone have any advice or best practises that can be implemented into samba to help the situation. I gather it's not able to handle the large amounts of read/write, or potentially samba is dropping off? The connection does not drop between the machines, but potentially samba is. Anything that can be added to the smb.conf file or perhaps somewhere else that helps with these large read/writes. Anyone faced the same issue and found another workaround?
Thanks
