Is it normal that the gencache.tdb should grow and grow “forever” and fill up with “RA/<hex>” posts? I’ve been investigating why our Samba 4.7.3 servers (happened with older version 4 servers too) would use such insane amounts of memory on our FreeBSD 11.1 servers (we see smbd processes using hundreds of megabytes of RAM...

Unfortunately I didn’t seem to have saved one of those big gencache.tdb files (we don’t currently see them). Or at least I can’t seem to find them now… A while ago when we first discovered this I posted a message: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2017-December/212577.html <https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2017-December/212577.html> I now notice...

...and have smooth performance I delete cache: systemctl stop samba net cache flush systemctl start samba First of all, is it needed a samba stop to flush the cache? Even if cache flush does the job to restore performance, I am clueless about the root cause of the problem. Before flushing cache the gencache.tdb had 15k entries. Is it large? Do you think is it worth time to investigate why it grows so much or is it just normal? thank you, franz

Hi! Technical description below, but the exec summary is: Yes, we have a performance problem with gencache.

Hi Jeremy,   I got some info on that topic from the illumos devs:   > It's a sporadic issue, you're lucky enough to not encounter it on 4.9.5. > > I confirmed in 4.10.2, it happens: > > winbindd.log:  tdb(/tmw-nas-3p/samba/var/lock/gencache.tdb): tdb_open_ex: tdb_mutex_init failed for /tmw-nas-3p/samba/var/lock/gencache.tdb: Device busy > > So either apply OS fix, or apply a software fix (zeroing pthread_mutex_t before pthread_mutex_init()).   This all should be based on the following issue:   https://www.illumos.org/issues/995...

For what it’s worth you are not alone in seeing similar problems with Samba and gencache. Our site has some 110K users (university with staff & students (including former ones), and currently around 2000 active (SMB) clients connecting to 5 different Samba servers (around 400-500 clients per server).
