[VU+ Duo2] Box starting to crash after about 24 Hours use

[lincsat]

Perhaps related to windows share issue you had?

I would guess so as that's now working. I am still using the same edited config file that wasn't working before, so the config isn't a problem.

I did update to 012 from a previous release but shouldn't that update the samba service? It would have kept the config but as stated, that's OK.

Basically all I did was

opkg remove samba
opkg install samba

Then rebooted box. It still had the edited smb.conf, didn't need to reload that.

Hi,
/var/volatile is a temporary directory which should be empty after each restart. 600MB log file between restarts is quite a bit.

As stated previously, the log file wasn't there after a restart, it took about 24 Hours to fill up.

The smb.conf file is in /etc/samba/

Hi,
even in 24hour 600MB is quite a number. Did you take look inside the logfile? Next time save it on your PC. Perhaps somebody wants to do bad things with your box.

@Lincsat has been in the coding side for a while on another image. I'm pretty sure that his network is quite secure. There were some changes to Samba a while back if you recall in the dev section. Maybe related, maybe not.

At least he is sorted now.
