Server is PII-350MHz/256 MB RAM, hardware mirrored high speed SCSI disks.
Installed is SuSE 8.2 with Samba 2.2.8a RPM, XFS filesystems and LPRng as
printservices. Server acts as PDC and WINS server.
Clients are W2K SP2 (a few with SP3). There are +/- 100 clients.
We see a server that is 100% busy and we see during a long time a very high CPU
load (60- 95%) related to one W2K client. When this smbd process is finished
(can
take more then an hour) or killed there is a very big change another client
behaves
the same way.
The server is in use for one week now. The first days the server didn't have
any
problems as far as we know.
We think -- but are not sure -- the problematic behavior of a W2K client starts
during a login because the files in use are related to connecting to the
printers and
reading the printerdrivers.
In the logfile we see quite a lot of lock problems:

We restarted the server after changing the smb.conf file; every share we changed
oplocks = no. After the restart the server runs without a problem.
Any idea about the cause of this high CPU load and lock problems?
