Heya,

nice to hear that I could (at least partially) help you.
The one 100%-taking smbd process, does it constantly take up 100%?
I am asking because we have sometimes the same problem, especially when
somebody is printing large sketches from AutoCAD.

the smbd grped form ps output is at 60% for about 12 houres. on this machine one process like these is no real harm as it's a dual xeon.


Have you already tried restarting Samba?

yes, and these kind of proces are still there when i stop samba with the initscript. i've to kill -9 them. i also can kill them while samba is running. this is no harm to the system at all. i've no compalins when i do this.


Do you have any log files?

yes, but at the current loglevel i've only a fewl lines about the ldap connections. i can increase the loglevel. but it will be hard to monitor the system in a way, that allows me to get the exact point of time when one process is running wild. so it will be hard to find a corelation of logmessages an this point of time. but i will do my very best.


cheers
matthias

Heya,

the growing number of smbd process and therewith the resulting 100% cpu
usage have their reason in samba not killing processes which are not
used anymore (since every client causes Samba to spawn a new process).
You can resolve this issue by putting
    deadtime = 60
into your smb.conf. This causes Samba to kill processes which are not
used anymore after 60 minutes which should be sufficient.
Hope I helped!

Have a nice day,

Ulrik

hi,

i've a debian sarge setup with samba 3.0.10 with ldap as SAM backend.
every thing used to work as expected, but last week the machine went
down. an analysis of the problem has showen, that with increasing
uptime there is a growing number of smbd processes that caus 100% CPU
utilation. tests have showen, that i can kill these processes without
harming smb conecctivtiy. this is a workaround but no soulution.

i've absolutely no idea what causes this and what i can/should do to
track this down.

any suggestions ?

TIA
