Hi! Our Samba file server seems to have a memory leakage. We are using samba as file server out of the box (debian sarge) on kernel 2.6.16.31. After a while users who have some shares and files open are acquiring more and more memory until the smbd dies. Here is a small shortcut from top: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 13843 gxxxxx 16 0 51792 44m 2552 S 0.3 17.8 0:22.97 smbd 13840 bxxxxx 17 0 31400 25m 2764 S 0.7 10.0 2:42.78 smbd smbd is allocation and more memory. We are using user security and smbpasswd as password backend.
The output from 'smbcontrol 13843 pool-usage' shows: global talloc allocations in pid: 13843 name chunks bytes ---------------------------------------- -------- -------- msg_pool_usage 1 159 lp_talloc 2 2 connection_struct 1 1844 pipe spoolss 0x922dfb0 0 0 pipe spoolss 0x83f4380 0 0 connection_struct 1 1844 connection_struct 1 1844 passdb internal SAM_ACCOUNT allocation 19 493 passdb internal SAM_ACCOUNT allocation 17 503 pdb_context internal allocation context 5 1513 passdb internal SAM_ACCOUNT allocation 8 397 ---------------------------------------- -------- -------- TOTAL 55 8599 Does anybody have an idea where to start? A similar problem was described in http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-October/112991.html but unfortunately there was no solution given.
