Title: Unusual interaction Amule/Samba server
Post by: antesima on December 24, 2007, 11:23:48 AM
Hello all,

first of all thanks for this great piece of software and Merry Christmas also !

My configuration :
amule 2.1.3 on Ubuntu 7.04

I have two servers, let's call them A and B.
Amule is running on server A (ubuntu)
B is a NAS server with a linux kernel and a samba server (I think it's a busybox based distro).

I usually mount B shares on A to copy downloads when they are completed, so the disks are mounted
in fstab.

The problem is : as soon as Amule is connected to a server  (not when the program is simply started),
there is an unusual activity of B's disks (well, they  are active all the time in fact).

Amule configuration is standard, and .Amule directory for configuration, temp and incoming files
are located on the local disk (not B's mount).

I tried disconnected B's mounts also, to no avail.

I really don't understand why this happens, if someone could help, it would be really kind, otherwise
I fear to shorten my disks life !

Regards,
Antesima

Are you saying that despite the fact that aMule doesn't use disk B, it shows "unusual activity"? Well, since it's NAS device, you can run Wireshark and find out who's talking to SMB.
Or, you can use "lsof" to check for files opened in Samba mount

Yes, exactly. I will try what you say, and keep you in touch with
the result.

Thanks for the fast answer.
