similar to: smbd hung processes - Samba 3.0.7

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

Running samba 2.06 on Solaris 2.6 and CIFS/9000 on HPUX11. Accessing from NT 4.0 Terminal server. We are seeing the following symptoms. Can anyone offer any diagnostic advice... Users will connect to samba servers and be working along ok. Without warning, the connection starts to act flaky. e.g. can't save documents, file system browsing becomes very erratic. A quick "ps | grep

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

We've recently been hitting a transient hung rpm build when using make 4.3, due to a bug in test-nbd-tls-psk.sh. We're still trying to isolate the correct fix for that bug (it might be in the nbd plugin proper, but more likely is an issue in libnbd's tls handling of connection close), but in the meantime, this patch should at least cause a graceful fail rather than make hanging due to

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

Why do I have 22 smbd processes running when smbstatus shows only three users? Can or should I try to limit the number of processes? Will it cause trouble as this system gets more use? There is only one nmbd process. I have hundreds of WinNT 4.0SP3 systems in the domain but I cannot imagine that any would need a smbd process until they attempt to login. Thanx, Jeff Unix System Manager

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.

-----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

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

There are actually two separate issues I am experiencing: * A firewall between our app and database closes the connection behind us after 30 mins * After a period of inactivity oracle closes connections on us Both of these issues prevent mongrel to respond because rails doesn''t realize the connections have been terminated. Anyone experience something similar in the past to offer some

For the past three weeks (this is really a guess as I just noticed it last week) I have been seeing many processes started in terminal windows that are no longer in existence. They were started using something like: gnome-terminal -x weather.pl -wr where weather.pl is a simple Perl script that prints a text file and periodically updates it by clearing the screen and re-writing the file to get the

A few weeks ago I updated my development computer to Snow Leopard (finally). I put it off because I was in the middle of a project, and it seems its a good thing I did. Last week I started something new and it seems that any rails related ruby process will get ... stuck, I guess is the best word. I''ve seen it happen as soon as a minute, or take as long as an hour. It happens for

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 \

Hi, I had an interesting problem with a Samba server recently, and I think I know what happened. But I want to post here to see if those wiser than I can confirm this or give me a better explanation of what went awry. I initially noticed around 8:35 AM samba wasn't working at all, and that my server had huge load averages indicated by "uptime". Though in "top" I could

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 have a problem, but am not really sure the question I need to ask. So going to lay it all down and maybe someone can point me in the right direction... I have a replicated gluster volume across two servers. Each server has its OS installed on an SSD, and a RAID array is mounted on each server as a brick. Both servers run a Samba AD, among other things, and an LXC container for a
