Hi,

Small question for you guys, something I've been puzzling over for a day or 
two now. I've recently put Debian on my brother box after he expressed a wish 
to use some OS other than my *legal* copy of Windows. One small thing has 
been bugging me, I keep all my mp3's on my workstation which is an XP/Debian 
dual boot. I run samba on linux configured with the same passwords and share 
names as in XP so that filesharing is transparent to the client. My brother's 
machine mounts my mp3's over using smbmount to his box. He uses XMMS to play 
them over the share, however every now and again the whole filesystem will 
stop responding for anywhere between 1/2 a second and 30 seconds. It's quite 
frustrating as it's off putting while working to have hte music suddenly 
stop. I've now moved him to an nfs share for the moment just so he can get 
coherent music. I'm fairly sure it doesn't do this when in XP so that 
confines it to the Samba on my box.

I use standard stable woody and I've attached my config file to this email in 
case it helps.

Any ideas?

Matt

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which 
# are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) 
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentary and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# "testparm" to check that you have not many any basic syntactic 
# errors.
