Hi,

I've been using my B2 for two years now and it is still working fine. However, since last week, the http://bubba.local doesn't resolve anymore so I have to use the ip-address. Also on my MacBook I cannot access the smb mount anymore.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance,
Marco

First thing I'd try would be restarting samba (ssh into the machine and run "/etc/init.d/samba restart"). If that doesn't help, check the logs in /var/log/samba, maybe they say something about what's wrong.

Thanks Daniel, although I'm not sure what to look for in the log. I also restarted the samba before, with no result. But when now using the afp to connect to a share, the smb seems to work again also.

Besides that, the http://bubba.local still doesn't resolve. But that ofcourse has nothing to do with the samba issue.

you could try to restart your avahi-daemon

ssh into the machine and run /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart

Hi Eek,
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried restarting the avahi-deamon, but it fails. Where to go from here?

Posted: **17 Jun 2011, 10:38**

you can check or post the log information in the file /var/log/syslog

should be something in there that looks like

Code: Select all

Jun 17 16:37:11 bubba avahi-daemon[2214]: avahi-daemon 0.6.16 starting up.

Posted: **17 Jun 2011, 10:44**

I found some lines:

Code: Select all

Jun 17 16:16:45 bubba avahi-daemon[21603]: Found user 'avahi' (UID 109) and group 'avahi' (GID 111).
Jun 17 16:16:45 bubba avahi-daemon[21603]: Successfully dropped root privileges.
Jun 17 16:16:45 bubba avahi-daemon[21603]: write(): No space left on device
Jun 17 16:16:45 bubba avahi-daemon[21603]: Failed to create PID file: No space left on device

That's all it is saying about it. I might have to clear some space, but as I'm no linux man I wouldn't know what to clear.

Could you do a
df -k

Posted: **17 Jun 2011, 10:54**

That give's me the following:

Code: Select all

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              9621848   9421452         0 100% /
tmpfs                   127900         0    127900   0% /lib/init/rw
udev                     10240        24     10216   1% /dev

For starters run

Code: Select all

df -h

from the command line and have a look if any disks are full.

Also, /tmp is a likely suspect so run

Code: Select all

du -hs /tmp

and see what it reports as the size.

Your disk is full
You can see what are the biggest files

Code: Select all

cd /
du -k .|sort -n

Thanks for the info. The sorted by filesize also returns files on my storage volumes, while I think I need to clear space on the system volume (but not really sure). Looking at the result of the filesystem:

Code: Select all

    Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/sda1              9621848   9421452         0 100% /
    tmpfs                   127900         0    127900   0% /lib/init/rw
    udev                     10240        24     10216   1% /dev
    tmpfs                   127900         4    127896   1% /dev/shm
    /dev/mapper/bubba-storage
                         950669364  42960328 859417812   5% /home

It says I have around 850GB of space available, but on the /dev/sda1 there's none left. So how and what can I clear there?

Posted: **17 Jun 2011, 11:20**

Just delete some big files from the sorted list

Code: Select all

cd /
du -k . | sort -n | grep -v \/home

Probably files in the directories /tmp or /var/log

Posted: **17 Jun 2011, 13:14**

Yes, there is enough space on the samba shares or /home mount

Posted: **17 Jun 2011, 13:32**

Thanks for all the help Eek. I cleared the maildrop using

Code: Select all

postsuper -d ALL -v

Now I have 85% free space again.
Do I really need the maildrop? Or is there a way to regulate the files created?
