This is samba 3.0.23c running on RHEL 5.0. Starting a few months ago, the server started periodically slowing to a crawl. The cpu would be maxed out and top would show the load between 5 and 10 (it's usually way under 1, like 0.3 to 0.5).
Any way to figure out what is causing this? This is a 3.2 ghz P4 and a 'pgrep smbd' returns 141 processes. We only have about 300 users who could be accessing it. This server also authenticates to a Windows 2000 domain controller. I reboot the server and sometimes it seems to help for a couple days, and sometimes the load immediately comes back and we just have to wait till the next day.
