smbd errors causing share disconnects

[thesugarat]

Hello all,

Long time user of this software, started on freenas, then forked over to nas4free and now on the rebranded xigmanas. I have two xigmanas machines and this issue is happening on both. I have have cifs/samba shares on both mapped to a Windows 10 VM but it loses connectivity randomly after many days of these errors showing up in the log. I even loose access to the webgui... I can restart the webgui to get to the page again but the only thing that fixes the issue is a reboot. I've found that if I "log-out" of the shared drives from my main MacPro running High Sierra, the logs don't fill up. I've been dealing with it for months but as I hadn't changed anything in this configuration for quite some time I figured it was a samba bug and waited for the next update to xigmanas. But upgrading hasn't fixed anything. I am willing to concede that is connected to using OSX but I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated...

Anyone knows how to solve this?
Thanks

add to CIFS/SAMBA option : log level = 0

[Vascorod]

Thank you raulfg3 for y/ prompt reply but my version has the following options : Log Level - Disable/Minimum/Normal/Full/Debug (presently is defined as "Minimum")

So, log level = 0 equal to what, Disable ?

Can you clarify if disabling log level solves the errors (i.e. keeps errors from occurring) or just don't log them (errors still occur but "silently").

Tank you once more.

[raulfg3]

errors still occur but "silently" because is not a "real" error.

use Log Level - Disable

[Vascorod]

Thanks.
