samba - Sep 2009 - smbd processes loaded onto one core

Hi,

We're running 3.0.31 (yes, I know that's old!) on a dual core processor,
our kernel has SMB support and the dual core processor is recognized
correctly, yet all (300+) smbd process seem to be hitting the same core!
Is this our OS, the version of samba, something else?

Any pointers would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Steve

That has to be your OS I'm afraid. Samba doesn't contain
any "run on this CPU" scheduling hinting code, it's just
a userspace app. I'd look elsewhere...
