Amahi Forums

Installed Amahi a couple of days ago using the Express Intall CD and added a couple of apps (squeezeserver!). Easy peasy.

I'm managing the hda from a Win7 laptop. Shares are reachable from both Win7 laptops I've tried.I haven't been able to reach the shares from a Ubuntu (11.04) netbook, however.

But that's not the issue...

I noticed constant disk access -- every ten seconds or so -- and after much fruitless fiddling, I finally took a peek at the System log on the "Debug" Tab and found this:

Jun 12 11:31:32 localhost nmbd[1603]: Cannot find my workgroup CORONA on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.
Jun 12 11:31:32 localhost nmbd[1603]: collect_all_workgroup_names_from_wins_server:
Jun 12 11:31:32 localhost nmbd[1603]: [2011/06/12 11:31:32.443668, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:585(collect_all_workgroup_names_from_wins_server)

Lots and lots and lots of those. I'm guessing the constant HDD I/Os are those log entries.

How do I tell Samba where to find the workgroup? Short of that, how do I tell Samaba to stop logging the error?

Thanks!

Well, I installed Webmin and changed the workgroup name to "CORONA" (all caps), and that seems to have satisfied nmbd's workgroup needs.

However, now nmbd is reporting:

Jun 12 13:42:27 localhost nmbd[8345]: Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.
Jun 12 13:42:27 localhost nmbd[8345]: Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name CORONA<1b> for the workgroup CORONA.
Jun 12 13:42:27 localhost nmbd[8345]: find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
Jun 12 13:42:27 localhost nmbd[8345]: [2011/06/12 13:42:27.977227, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:350(find_domain_master_name_query_fail)

On the bright side, it's only hitting the log every ten or fifteen minutes, rather than every ten seconds.

And, apparently the ALL CAPS trick also fixed the issue I had connecting from the Ubuntu netbook.

Still working on the

Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name CORONA<1b> for the workgroup CORONA.

Message samba keeps spamming to the syslog. When I solve it, I'll report back!
