Ello -- For the past few months our Samba installation, currently at Version 3.0.28 has filling the log. file with [2008/04/17 13:25:30, 0] smbd/notify_inotify.c:inotify_handler(234) No data on inotify fd?! This is started to happen almost weekly and it continues to output those lines until the log partition is full, then leaves a single process spiked to 100% until I kill it. There is nothing out of the ordinary in the log. file prior to mass error output. However, the process that is spiked (and I presume is causing the output) is always owned by the same user. Their users log file is very out of the ordinary and contains lots of output: rpc_api_pipe: Remote machine WK019 pipe \spoolss fnum 0x4000returned critical error. Error was Call timed out: server did not respond after 10000 milliseconds [2008/04/16 11:06:10, 0] rpc_server/ srv_spoolss_nt.c:srv_spoolss_replycloseprinter(161) srv_spoolss_replycloseprinter: reply_close_printer failed [WERR_SEM_TIMEOUT].

Anyone else having this issue, or can think of a work around? Thanks, Dave
