[Samba] smbd daemon uses all filedescriptors
We are running samba on a number of HP systems running HP/UX 11.00. We moved from samba version 2.0.7. to samba version 2.2.3a. We have about 200-400 smbd's running on one host. Samba version 2.2.3a was running without any problems for about two weeks. But now on two different servers indepent of each other, the file table was full. We found out that ONE smbd used about 5000 !! filedescripters to the same MS word file. We didn't had these problems with samba version 2.0.7. We want to install samba version 2.2.3a on other HP servers used by 2000 people. Has anybode seen this problem before (on HP/UX ?? ) ?? For us this is a serious problem. Please advise/help.

Hi Eddy, I mean the "posix locking = yes" and "kernel oplocks = yes" - new with 2.2.3 - is the problem! HP/UX have no mmap! If you dont have NFS or local access to the smb files, disable both! ... it maye helps!

I ran into a similar problem on FreeBSD. The McAffee virus scanner on a Win2K workstation ate up all my locks when oplocks were engaged. I turned oplocks off and the problem has not recurred. I haven't noticed a serious performance hit without the oplocks, either. -- Glenn Scherb Midwest Research Institute 425 Volker Boulevard Kansas City, Missouri 64110 gscherb@mriresearch.org http://www.mriresearch.org <http://www.mriresearch.org/> Phone: (816)753-7600 x1806 FAX: (816)753-5359 Page: (816)990-8513 pagegscherb@mriresearch.org -----Original Message----- From: samba-admin@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-admin@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of c.m.e.reniers@philips.com Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 7:07 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] smbd daemon uses all filedescriptors We are running samba on a number of HP systems running HP/UX 11.00.
