Hi All, Using top command the samba process shows below entry : 10093 bvuat 13 58 0 186M 129M sleep 2:49 2.76% bvsmgr 8611 root 1 58 0 7696K 6080K cpu/3 574:56 0.85% smbd 10077 bvuat 13 59 0 186M 129M sleep 2:53 0.57% bvsmgr 1355 oracle 1 54 0 596M 550M sleep 0:18 0.30% oracle 25577 bvuat 1 58 0 2720K 1736K cpu/1 0:02 0.30% top Do u think this is correct, or there is something wrong somewhere. I am not getting any problems with samba connection but I am trying to debug why one other process is hanging on this server. Regards
