[Samba] High CPU with 3.0.14a in FC4
hi everyone, I've been subscribed to the mailing lists for about 18 months to 2 years but have never had the opportunity to post. One of our clients has a box that is a 3Ghz Pentium 4 running FC1 and 512 MB of memory. An upgrade was performed to FC4 [2 make use of ACL's]. We haven't yet started to implement ACL's [or made any changes to the Samba configuration]. The problem we are experiencing is that the standard daemon processes [SMBD] are using significantly more CPU [processes that were running a 10% are now running at over 40%]. Has anybody seen or heard of this before or is this a FC4 specific problem. The boxes are primarily Windows file sharers but they do run qmail as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated Regards Brad Horrocks -- Secure Office Services ABN 75 196 364 531 19 Burrendong Road COOMBABAH QLD 4216 Ph. +61 7 5537 4955 Fx. +61 7 5537 4966 web: http://www.secureoffice.com.au

Are other servers (e.g. qmail) using more CPU as well? Or just smbd? Jay, have you observed any similar behavior (increaed CPU usage). cheers, jerry ====================================================================Alleviating the pain of Windows(tm) ------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ----- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "I never saved anything for the swim back."
