Hmmmm. I'd prefer it if we could work out *why* nmbd
is losing the elections, and ensure it doesn't when
it's set to a high level.
Could you try an experiment in which you crank up the
debug log level of nmbd when you notice it starts losing
elections (debug level of 5 should do) - you can change
the debug level of nmbd on the fly by sending it SIGUSR1
signals to increase the log level for a process.
Can you then send me the log, as at debug level 5 it
should print out all the criteria that it looks at
in the election - this should help determine why it
thinks it is losing.
Cheers,
Jeremy Allison,
