Hi all, Our system has just recently begun experiencing smbd processes comsuming enormous amounts of cpu time. I am totally unsure of the cause of this. We are using samba version 2.0.0 (packaged for debian linux). seldon:~$ /usr/sbin/smbd -h Usage: /usr/sbin/smbd [-D] [-p port] [-d debuglevel] [-l log basename] [-s services file] Version 2.0.0 We have not recently upgraded the samba installation. A strace of a smbd process, seems to indicate that it is in a continuous loop. An extract from the strace is below. The smb.conf file was checked with testparm and appears ok, but is also included below. Any help would be appreciated....and if more information is required please contact me. Best regards, Chris Leishman ------ strace extract -------- select(9, [7 8], NULL, NULL, {60, 0}) = 1 (in [7], left {60, 0}) read(7, "\0\0\0T", 4) = 4 read(7, "\377SMB\240\0\0\0\0\30\3\0{\200\0"..., 84) = 84 time(NULL) = 925292355 write(7, "\0\0\0#\377SMB\240\2\0\377\377\210"..., 39) = 39 select(9, [7 8], NULL, NULL, {60, 0}) = 1 (in [7], left {59, 990000}) read(7, "\0\0\0V", 4) = 4 read(7, "\377SMB2\0\0\0\0\30\3\0{\200\0\0"..., 86) = 86 time(NULL) = 925292355 stat("???w", 0xbfffe51c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("???w", 0xbfffe51c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=2048, ...}) = 0 open(".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 9 fcntl(9, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0 getdents(9, /* 55 entries */, 3933) = 1124 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 1024 getdents(9, /* 13 entries */, 3933) = 328 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 2048 getdents(9, /* 0 entries */, 3933) = 0 close(9) = 0 stat("./", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=2048, ...}) = 0 open("./", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 9 fcntl(9, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0 getdents(9, /* 55 entries */, 3933) = 1124 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 1024 getdents(9, /* 13 entries */, 3933) = 328 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 2048 getdents(9, /* 0 entries */, 3933) = 0 close(9) = 0 write(7, "\0\0\0#\377SMB2\1\0\2\0\210A\0\0"..., 39) = 39 select(9, [7 8], NULL, NULL, {60, 0}) = 1 (in [7], left {60, 0}) read(7, "\0\0\0T", 4) = 4 read(7, "\377SMB\240\0\0\0\0\30\3\0{\200\0"..., 84) = 84 time(NULL) = 925292355 write(7, "\0\0\0#\377SMB\240\2\0\377\377\210"..., 39) = 39 select(9, [7 8], NULL, NULL, {60, 0}) = 1 (in [7], left {60, 0}) read(7, "\0\0\0V", 4) = 4 read(7, "\377SMB2\0\0\0\0\30\3\0{\200\0\0"..., 86) = 86 time(NULL) = 925292355 stat("???w", 0xbfffe51c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("???w", 0xbfffe51c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat(".", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=2048, ...}) = 0 open(".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 9 fcntl(9, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0 getdents(9, /* 55 entries */, 3933) = 1124 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 1024 getdents(9, /* 13 entries */, 3933) = 328 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 2048 getdents(9, /* 0 entries */, 3933) = 0 close(9) = 0 stat("./", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=2048, ...}) = 0 open("./", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 9 fcntl(9, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0 getdents(9, /* 55 entries */, 3933) = 1124 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 1024 getdents(9, /* 13 entries */, 3933) = 328 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 2048 getdents(9, /* 0 entries */, 3933) = 0 close(9) = 0 write(7, "\0\0\0#\377SMB2\1\0\2\0\210A\0\0"..., 39) = 39 select(9, [7 8], NULL, NULL, {60, 0}) = 1 (in [7], left {59, 990000}) read(7, "\0\0\0T", 4) = 4 read(7, "\377SMB\240\0\0\0\0\30\3\0{\200\0"..., 84) = 84 time(NULL) = 925292355 write(7, "\0\0\0#\377SMB\240\2\0\377\377\210"..., 39) = 39 select(9, [7 8], NULL, NULL, {60, 0}) = 1 (in [7], left {60, 0}) read(7, "\0\0\0V", 4) = 4 lseek(9, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 2048 getdents(9, /* 0 entries */, 3933) = 0 close(9) = 0 write(7, "\0\0\0#\377SMB2\1\0\2\0\210A\0\0"..., 39) = 39 select(9, [7 8], NULL, NULL, {60, 0}) = 1 (in [7], left {60, 0}) read(7, "\0\0\0T", 4) = 4 read(7, "\377SMB\240\0\0\0\0\30\3\0{\200\0"..., 84) = 84 time(NULL) = 925292356 write(7, "\0\0\0#\377SMB\240\2\0\377\377\210"..., 39) = 39 select(9, [7 8], NULL, NULL, {60, 0}) = 1 (in [7], left {60, 0}) read(7, "\0\0\0V", 4) = 4 read(7, "\377SMB2\0\0\0\0\30\3\0{\200\0\0"..., 86) = 86 time(NULL) = 925292356 stat("???w", 0xbfffe51c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("???w", 0xbfffe51c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) <repeats almost endlessly> ------- ---- smb.conf ---- ;
