samba - Sep 2025 - Regarding stale SMB windows clients on Samba server reboot

Hi,

We are seeing that when the Samba server is rebooted the SMB Windows clients
which are connected to this Samba server and accessing the share hangs. It seems
like it takes around 2-3 mins to come out of this situation.

We were expecting that these client connections would be cleaned up Samba
server. Could you please let us know the expected behaviour.

Also could you please let us know if smbd-cleanupd is responsible for cleaning
up closed connections and if so how frequently does it do.

Thanks & Regards,
