Windows Storage 2003 based NAS

by lewkh Jun 9, 2005 1:42PM PDT

Hi Everyone,

I got a NAS in Windows Storage 2003, my architecture is NAS connect with two RedHat Linux 9 box for frequent read/write file accessing to NAS. I configured NAS to share out the folder in Windows file sharing feature and Linux site, I just use the mount -t smbfs to map share folder in Windows.
In view of my application in two Linux box frequent read/write file access to NAS, my Windows NAS start to have a symptom of refuse connection.(break the mapping) But there is strange, when I restart the Windows NAS server then the connnection come back without remount in Linux site. From my past experience told me, it happened almost a week per time, means the uptime more then a week then I get high risk on refuse connection on Windows.
Could any body tell me what is the problem on it? Or what is the service can I use to restart instead of reboot whole Windows? Please advise.....

Sounds like a bug to me too.

You can experiment with NET STOP (service) and NET START (service) to see if that does what you want without reboot.

You did ask why. It's quite simple. People don't program flawlessly.
