More info: the router logs bandwidth usage information to the same Samba share; it's done that for over a year and a half with no issues. Until now, apparently. I reconfigured the router to write its bandwidth logs to internal flash (had to back off on the write frequency to keep from killing

...and it turns out the router is not to blame, as when I logged into my server this morning to check on it, top looked something like this: top - 08:38:30 up 1 day, 14:40, 1 user, load average: 874.41, 870.45, 860.30 Tasks: 1050 total, 877 running, 173 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie

2014-08-21 Thread Scott Alfter
Public bug reported: Sometime in the past week, my server has started spawning hundreds (or even thousands) of smbd processes, driving the load average through the roof. Once every minute or so, it appears to start a new one. Output from ubuntu-bug is attached. ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu)
