Samba-dc fails on NS8

[Turbond (Matthew)]

NS-8 has again killed the samba container… no idea why this time it won’t start at all.
How do I restart this container samba and see the actual error.
Regards
Matthew

etc etc
As I can’t run a sudo systemctl restart samba logged into the container (wants password) I am at a loss as to how to debug now.

NS-8 has again killed the samba container…

If the system has few memory, the kernel randomly kills processes (OOM killer). To check if your system is under that condition, try to log in a system console and run

dmesg | grep "Out of memory"
dmesg | grep oom-killer

If you are running Proxmox, and as you’re running Linux in general this discussion may be interesting

Free used memory / RAM

Hi Community, I run NS as a VM within Proxmox. From time to time I notice quite a large usage of memory, see picture for detail. I had a usage of approx. 80 % of 32 GB RAM (marked red). I was searching the internet for an option to release memory. I found this here: https://www.linuxmaker.com/tutorials/ram-freigeben.html Sorry, it is not available in English. So I set of those two command lines as root within NS sync ; sync ; sync ; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches sync ; sync ; sync ; sw…

Hi Davide,

Thanks for the link. On the Proxmox box I have set my ZFS cache size to a max of 8GB. Then my vm’s take 12GB (ERPNext), 16GB (NS8) and 4GB (pfSense), which still leaves me a large amount of free RAM on the 64GB box. ( I could increase the RAM of NS8 Cluster to 24GB if needed, but once loaded it sits around 11% on debian 12)

I rebuilt the ns8 instance using debian 12…same user count and services as the rocky linux 9.1 vm. On boot it runs a little sluggish (for a few minutes which Rocky Linux did not seem to do as all the services are loaded on the cluster) but (as yet) I have not have Samba fail. I’m running Samba, Mail, Nextcloud, Collabora and NGINX on the cluster.

I’ll spin up the old instance and check memory today, but following all the summary information I’d seen on Proxmox, memory was the least issue. CPU with eight cores enabled got maxed out with Rocky linux when I was rsyncing files across, or doing the IMAP syncing. Debian linux syncs the data across noticable slower but I’d rather have slower sync speeds and a stable system.
