This issue was occurring approx 2-3 times a week for us. Symptoms are as
described
above. My fellow Unix admin ran a Solaris pfiles against the out of control
Samba
process
and found that it had the same file open quite a number of times. Sometimes it
was 50
times and other times it was more. The file that was being opened is shared
heavily amongst
a group of users on the same server.
On a hunch we put this entry into the share that was causing the problem.
veto oplock files = /Menu.xls/
The issue has not come back since.
Cheers,
Aaron
