Hi people I have a problem with processes not being killed. These were recorded after all workstations were turned off and only the server was active on the network. this is from smbstatus -b: 1304 50016653 spc_d-2 Thu Mar 28 08:33:18 2002 25990 50018958 spc_c1 Thu Mar 28 08:00:06 2002 this is from top: Mem: 512372K av, 502400K used, 9972K free, 0K shrd, 53060K buff Swap: 1052248K av, 49344K used, 1002904K free 298404K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 25990 50018958 19 0 7556 1968 1772 R 99.9 0.3 110:21 smbd 1304 50016653 16 0 2840 1892 1724 R 99.2 0.3 129:30 smbd 11410 root 13 0 1120 1120 848 R 0.7 0.2 0:00 top 1 root 9 0 528 484 460 S 0.0 0.0 0:06 init As you can see, in this instance, these two processes are running a 99% and killing the servers. At one time we have had up to 255 concurrent entries like this. We have 60 workstations on the network. Has anyone experienced this before and is there a fix? We are using RH7.2 with Samba version 2.2.1a, smb.conf attached. Any help is appreciated Thanks in advance Michael. -- Michael Piko Network Administrator Spherion Group Ltd Level 1, 493 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, 3004 Tel: 61 3 9243 2385 Fax: 61 3 9820 2010 pikom@cpgen.cpg.com.au -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

There was a know issue with memory not being freed properly around that release. I would suggest upgrading and seeing if the problem goes away. -- Brian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Piko" <michael@cpgen.cpg.com.au> To: <samba@lists.samba.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 9:33 PM Subject: [Samba] processes chewing up resources> Hi people > > I have a problem with processes not being killed. > These were recorded after all workstations were turned off and only the > server was active on the network. > > this is from smbstatus -b: > > 1304 50016653 spc_d-2 Thu Mar 28 08:33:18 2002 > 25990 50018958 spc_c1 Thu Mar 28 08:00:06 2002 > > this is from top: > > Mem: 512372K av, 502400K used, 9972K free, 0K shrd, 53060Kbuff> Swap: 1052248K av, 49344K used, 1002904K free 298404K > cached > > PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND > 25990 50018958 19 0 7556 1968 1772 R 99.9 0.3 110:21 smbd > 1304 50016653 16 0 2840 1892 1724 R 99.2 0.3 129:30 smbd > 11410 root 13 0 1120 1120 848 R 0.7 0.2 0:00 top > 1 root 9 0 528 484 460 S 0.0 0.0 0:06 init > > As you can see, in this instance, these two processes are running a 99%and> killing the servers.

I would like to give that a try. I should have mentioned also that this is happening in only 1 of 5 sites so far. We are in the process of rolling this server image out to the other 14 sites and its important to keep all of the images identical. At least upgrading a package is easy with rpms. Thankyou very much for the feedback. Michael. On Thu, 28 Mar 2002 16:24, Brian Whitehead reckons:> There was a know issue with memory not being freed properly around that > release.
