Samba in Lion and ML Server keeps disconnecting, PC InDesign crashes
I've installed Lion Server as a server in a small design studio. There's four Macs and one W7 PC in the office running desing software, mainly InDesign.
While Macs are fine, PC InDesing crashes within a few minutes upon opening old or creating new document and saving on the server with this error:
The network connection was lost for the file \\SERVER\share\file.indd or the file was modified by another process.
The same happens on a different computer with same InDesign so network connection is irrelevant.
InDesign is updated to 7.0.4, but CS6 showed same behaviour.
I tried very short path with test.indd being in the root of share. Same crash.
It doesn't happen on an old server based on Linux/SMB so it must be new SMBX implementation.
Though, I had problems replicating it in other application than InDesign. Eg Word didn't crash at all when files are opened from the same location.
I also tried guest vs authenticated login - the same crash. Or IP vs DNS server name. And also logging properly as SERVERNAME\username as Winows logs as CLIENTNAME\username by default which is wrong.
The only other misbehaviour was an very rare message about server not being reachable when doubleclicked in Explorer > Network.
To get a log on the server, I unloaded smbd and started it in debug mode:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plist
sudo /usr/sbin/smbd -debug -stdout
and at the very moment it's happening, I'm getting this error:
ERROR [smb_dispatch.cpp:72] request has no session
And that's about it. I didn't get any further. No-one seems to have ahd this issue before.
Any insight into SMBX would be very appreciated.
