Code: Select all
smbd[2990]: inotify_add_watch returned Bad file descriptorinotify_add_watch - inotify detect file system modifications, add_watch selects which files you want to monitor.
Bad file descriptor - Well something wen't wrong, could be all sorts of reasons (file is locked, bad file name, who knows)
So that was probably not very helpful.
If I had these errors I'd have a look for underlying errors. Is the disk out of space, run fsck etc. Possibly SMB/CIFS is out of synch with the actual file system (for instance you configured CIFS to share a directory and subsequently deleted it). After that I have no concrete suggestions.
