Over the past few months, I have seen many postings here about runaway
smbd processes with Samba versions 3.0.20 and above. Personally, it
never happened to me until today. Also, I have stuck with Samba 3.0.13
on most of my machines because of THIS reported issue and a couple of
other issues that I have experienced.
However, I have a machine running RIGHT NOW where smbd has gone out of
control. This machine is running 3.0.20b. If it would help, and if
somebody could tell me exactly -- and I mean exactly -- what to do on my
machine to capture information that might help explain what is going on,
I would be happy to collect the information.
But, it has to be in the next couple of hours. It is 8:30 am Friday in
Boston, MA USA. I have to reboot the machine to use it in about 3 hours.
Note that rpc.statd also seems to be out of control. Don't know if it is
related.
