  1. hello Tridge’s Corner,

    Sorry for sending this message directly to email.
    It’s that she posted the list
    “http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2010-September/073344.html” infeslismente and had no recurrence. I need to solve this problem, with CTDB.

    I am college students and computer network administrator at PUC -
    Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais in Brazil:
    (www.inf.pucminas.br).

    I am developing a work of completion (monograph) in which my proposal is
    to install the CTDB on Debian on 4 nodes. And I will use 15 machines to
    testing environments and publish the results as compared with
    monoprocessor environment that I have installed.

    Please do help me with this problem, because I’m several weeks trying to
    make the CTDB and I can not run, and depending on that work to
    accomplish my thesis.

    CTDB trouble configuring Debian 5.0 with samba 3.4.8.

    Error 1: When attempting to start the /etc/init.d/ctdb start:
    * Starting Clustered TDB ctdb failed!

    /etc/init.d/ctdb status
    * Checking status of Clustered TDB ctdb not running

    Error 2: When you start Samba with /etc/init.d/ samba start:
    * Starting Samba daemons: nmdb failed!
    smb.

    When requesting the status of samba:
    # Smbstatus
    Rertorna.
    connect (/tmp/ctdb.socket) failed: File or directory not found.
    * Messaging_ctdb_init failed: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND
    messaging_init failed.

    Then the log daemon nmdb this way:
    [9/15/2010 11:28:45, 1] lib/messages.c: 215 (messagin_init)
    messaging_ctdb_init failed: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND
    [9/15/2010 11:28:45, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c: 60 (nmbd_messaging_context) Could
    not init nmbd messaging context.

    As I understand it is not finding the file /tmp/ctdb.socket.
    So I created the file with
    # mkdir /tmp/ctdb.socket and applied permission chmod 777. Trying to
    start the services ctdb and samba, it returned the same error messages.
    The difference is that when checking
    smbstatus it returns:
    messaging_ctdb_init failed: NT_STATUUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED messaging_init
    failed.
    =================================
    Thus my question is where the file ctdb.socket so I can change the
    configuration file CTDB_SOCKET = tmp/ctdb.socket

    >From the little I know, it is a socket then that would be created a
    shortcut inside tmp/ctdb.socket. But I do not know where this shortcut
    would point to.
    Because I can not find ctdb.socket
    and the command # locate ctdb.socket not found.

    Again sorry to send this email directly
    is that I’m desperate to do this work and got to a point that
    I can no longer move.

    Thank you.
