similar to: Too many smbd processes

I've currently got a samba 4.0.6-GIT-3f8ea16 deployment that's spawning many (250 or more) smbd processes whenever a backup runs and starts backing up files that have samba ACL's attached to them. (Such as the 'sysvol' volume) This will effectively lock up the machine until I've restarted samba and killed the backup job. If the backup is still running, samba will

I have problems with a samba server. It's almost stable since the last upgrade, but there are many smbd processes owned by root, instead by the user. This is a RedHat-7.3 server. There were many smbd processes running, I once saw almost 50 for the same user. This was growing untill we had to restart samba. I also tried to build the samba-2.2.8 rpm but it was too unstable in this system.

Hi, We're encountering severe load problems associated with multiple smbd processes running per user. As an example below, this user has only five files open yet many smbd's running. Is there a reason for this occurring? I've been experimenting with file locking etc to try and get around it. Thanks Tim tim@hostname:~> smbstatus -u yunjeng -S INFO: Debug class all level = 1

Hello People, /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb status yields the following output: smbd (pid 31224 31209 31102 31098 31077 31069 31056 3237 3171 3154 3147 3144 3131 3129 3128 3124 3119 3091 3077 2590 2582 2564 2491 2468 1964) is running... nmbd (pid 31062 31061) is running... In total 25 smbd's and 2 nmbd's, while only five or six users actually use the samba-server. This many processes causes

I have the very same problem with samba 3.0.14a running on Debian Sarge and have found no solution yet. Has anyone found a solution in the meanwhile? Could it perhaps be due to a failure in our networking hardware? > We've seen Samba crash and burn twice in the last 48 hours - it just > started happening, and we have no idea what might be causing it.

This is a follow on to the previous post about smbd bringing down a machine. I'm running samba 2.2.5. I've limited the number of smbd processes, so at least the machine doesn't stop working, but samba still stops working occasionally. Here is what smbstatus shows: atgdet05:/usr/local/samba/bin% sudo ./smbstatus -d using configfile = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf Opened

All, I'm running the latest stable version of SerNet-Samba on a Debian Sarge box (I switched from the traditional Samba package for certain reasons which I won't delve into here), but I've come across a serious issue. Every day, the Samba processes become so numerous that the server begins acting really flaky. That is to say, there are so many smbd -D processes that the server

Hello, I'm using Samba 4.0.5 in Debian Wheezy as a member server of a DC (in Debian Wheezy too with Samba 4.0.5) and the clients are Windows7 Pro. The users use shares in the member server. Sometimes, after the logoff of the users in the Win7 clients, there are connections with the member server whiches never stop. I can see it with the "smbstatus" command which point PID out to me

I'm running Samba 2.0.4b on a E450 running Solaris 7 which acts as a diskspace server for students, normally everything runs quite smoothly with numbers of connections in the region of about 800/900. Then every now and again students will start seeing their connections being lost and others will not get a connection when they log in, looking at the system shows no obvious problems, except

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm experiencing an odd situation on my samba (3.0.9) server (RH 7.3). maybe it is normal, but I prefer to ask... Some smbd processes are not owned by the corresponding user, but by root instead : [root@karma logs]# ps faxu|grep smbd|grep ^root|wc -l 213 [root@karma logs]# ps faxu|grep smbd|grep -v ^root|wc -l 29 but samba view

We've seen Samba crash and burn twice in the last 48 hours - it just started happening, and we have no idea what might be causing it. I'm hoping that someone will recognize this problem. Platform: we are running RedHat Enterprise Server, with Samba 3.0.7. We're using security=domain in an old-style NT4 domain environment. The symptom that we're seeing is that the number of

Hi Team, While building smbd and smbstatus statically I am getting below error (using make). *ERROR: source source3/smbd/notify_msg.c is in more than one subsystem of target 'smbstatus': ['smbd_base.objlist', 'smbstatus.objlist']* *Environment Details:* Machine: Ubuntu 18.04 Samba Version: 4.11.6 *My Makefile excerpt:* ./configure --with-logfilebase=/var/log \

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks, maybe my problem was discussed before, but I'm just too busy to browse the whole mailinglist at the moment. I'm running Samba 3.0.14a(sernet) on a Debian Sarge with LDAP-Backend. After some days, the users aren't able to load their profiles from the server. In fact, no datas can be transfered from/to the sambaserver. The cpu

Hi there, I have three S4 servers running as AD DCs. In order to keep the sysvol share in sync I'm using crontab to run the following command: /usr/bin/rsync -PavAX --delete root@<masterPDC>:/var/lib/samba/sysvol/ /var/lib/samba/sysvol/ However everytime this command is run a couple of extra smbd processes are started on the <masterPDC> (between 2 and 5 processes) which never

Hi, We've been experiencing this same problem, however, with Samba 3.0.7-1.3E.1 running on RedHat ES 3.0. We've also experienced this on 2.2.7x on RedHat 9. The problem has been intermittently happening over the last several weeks, (I've posted list about it). This message, along with the others in the thread, describes the symptoms that we're seeing, however, I haven't

Hi, I've a huge problem with Samba. It's the PDC of the school LAN. Clients are NTWS 4. Samba has been up and running for 11 days and now, since 2 days, force me to reboot the whole server everyday to work. I explain : when doing an "ps aux" or "smbstatus", i saw A LOT of "smbd -D" started for the same user 10 times in about 2 minutes. When I try to kill

Hello We are running samba on SGI/SUN/HP fileservers. We saw a problem on the SGI fileservers. After a while a lot of defunct smbd deamons were hanging and occupying the slots in the process table. We saw the problem with IRIX 5.2 and samba 1.9.16p11 and IRIX 6.2 and samba 1.9.17.p4 . Has anybody seen this problem before? This is a serious problem, because the smbd daemons are filling the

Hi we use samba 3.0.25a on FreeBSD 6.2. We use a 'multiple' approach on our server: we have a smbd daemon for the Users section (with its configuration file) and a smbd daemon for the Groups section (with another configuration file). We would like to discriminate the locks and the other details for these two daemons: we would like to have a report for smbd-users and a report for
