Similar problems exist in Samba 4.x, at least on FreeNAS. A growing number of smbd processes start using 100% of the server's CPUs when the shares are accessed via OS X's Finder or Window's Explorer. Strangely enough this doesn't seem to happen when running network bench marks or accessing shares via programs like XBMC or Windows Media Center. But once the problem starts then, of course, everyone's hosed. It's hard to believe that a programs as widely used as Samba is this consistently broken. Hopefully the U of M NFS client for Windows works well enough that I can just dump SMB completely.
