similar to: hanging smbd(s).....

dear all, the following problem occurs periodically (appr. once a week) here: the number of smbd(s) will dramatically rise (up to 500 and more...) when having a look what the proccesses are doing i only see that they are waiting for getting a lock: fcntl64(4, F_SETLKW64, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=240, len=1}, 0xbfefa5c0) = 0 filedescriptor 4 is bound to my secrets.tdb ! after that

Hi folks, We have been experiencing problems with one of our Samba servers here for a while now and need a little help. First off we are running Fedora Core 3, kernel version 2.6.12-1, and Samba version 3.0.20b. Our hardware is a RAID 5 DELL PowerEdge 700 server. The problem I am about to describe has occurred on this server in previous versions of samba prior to version 3.0.20b and has the

Problem ------------ SMBD processes spawn out of control until the Samba stops responding. Restarting the service does not clear the processes. Only a reboot of the server will bring it back to a usable state. This server is home to our postgres databases, Access front ends, and Production Files (excel, word...). It is a samba domain member server. We have multiple Samba file servers

Hi All. Iam also facing similar issue with samba version Version 3.0.10-1.4E on RHEL4 (2.6.9-5.0.5.ELsmp) smbd process suddenly started filingup and within minutes samba stopped responding. Please help. Thanks, Anilkumar

In the past few months we have seen a couple of our production servers crash that are running samba-3.0.14a-1. What seems to happen is the smbd pid's seem to grow and grow until an out of memory error occurs and the smbd process just hangs. A simple restart does not even clear out the pid's. I end up rebooting to just clear it all out and start fresh. It probably has happened at

Over the past 2 days, my smbd processes are multiplying worse than rabbits. At least with rabbits it's easy to tell why you wind up with so many... Here's the setup: Samba version 3.2.8-0.24 installed via rpm on a FC6 box with 2 nics, both on the same subnet. The samba server acts as a PDC in a mixed environment but mostly windows pc's running xp. It is used mostly for file

Hi, Using syslinux 3.80, I'm seeing pxelinux.bin hanging after the (succesfull) transfer of the default file. Running a lan trace, it appears that all goes fine until the time pxelinux sends a TFTP RRQ for menu.c32 to the TFTP server, gets the first data packet back, and apparently freezes at this point. The TFTP server then times out and retries (3 times) then finally sends an error packet

Hello, I run a samba server for windows users who access their user data via samba. The samba server is NOT the domaincontroller. This task is performed by a native windows machine. The samba server is running on a pve virtual machine. All data that samba delivers to the windows users are stored on two NFS servers (also VMs) and accessed via an automounted NFS mount for each user on the

Hello, (Samba 3.0.21c / Linux 2.4.27) a smbd process was hanging on a file server since one day. This smbd process was locking some files on the server, and that was causing some share violation for a Windows user (well, that what I think). I did a lsof on the smbd process, and I saw that the TCP netbios-ssn connection was still seen as established with the machine of the windows user that

Hi, If process all my mounts prior to the "..." bit below. It looks as if it's hanging while processing some printer config. On that assumption and since I don't and never have had any printers attached, I've commented out the '[printers]' section from smb.conf. No section contains a 'printable = yes'. I've tried with all sections containing 'printable

Hello, I am running Samba 2.2.2 with acl-0.7.16 on RedHat 6.2 (2.2.19). The PDC is a Windows 2000 Server and the Samba server is a domain member using Winbind. All the workstations are Windoze 2000 Pro with SP2. Everything seemingly works fine but every day or two I get a runaway SMBD process which hogs the CPU and becomes unkillable. The only resolution is to reboot the server completely.

To whom it may concern, I have a machine that runs the smbd server daemon on an HP-UX 9.07 for users that interact through Ntrigue. Unless the users exit out of their session correctly or if their Ntrigue session times out, the smbd processes will continue to run unless manually killed or the machine is rebooted. Is there any way that we can clean out these unused smbd processes other

Dear Samba Developers, OS: Linux 2.0.31 Samba1.9.17p4 today I detected that smbstatus shows more users logged in as really using the samba service. It seems that at logoff sometimes the smbd won't die and won't free the used tcp/ip socket: Output from "netstat -a": Active Internet connections (including servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address

Hi All, I am using Samba 2.2.3a as PDC to Windows NT 4.0 workstations. The PDC works fine except for the fact that the user processes (smbd) that are spawned, stay for a while even after the user logs off. The behavior of these processes is such that it is initially owened by user 'nobody' as soon as user logs off and then the process is owned by 'root'. The process eventually

Hi, tanks for the answer. Since /proc/<PID>/stack is a stack the topmost element should be the task where it got stuck which is: rwsem_down_write_slowpath which waits for getting a write lock semaphore: cat /proc/10193/stack [<0>] rwsem_down_write_slowpath+0x2e2/0x620 [<0>] nfs_rmdir+0x117/0x1b0 [nfs] [<0>] vfs_rmdir+0x7c/0x1b0 [<0>] do_rmdir+0x216/0x230

Hello list: I have a very odd problem. Seemingly randomly, my Polycom IP600 phones will ring without a call being placed to it. That is to say, a random phone will ring. Nothing shows up under Caller ID. Even the buttons that light up to show an incoming call do not light up. If you pick up the handset, you can hear the phone ring through the speaker.
