Hi Tim,
I was having a lot of problems with this one, most of which have been
acknowledged upstream as having fixes in 4.11.3 whenever it comes out (I
note that Arch is still on 4.10.x in their Extra repo, 4.11.2 hasn't left
testing yet).
A majority of my problems are with the stability of the file server. I
have Windows-based clients here ranging from XP (although I don't really
use those with Samba, I have a 2012r2 machine for that, and they're all on
once or twice a month anyway), all the way to Windows 10. My Windows 7,
8.1, and 10 machines would drop connections during large (100+ MB) file
transfers, and I'd come over to my samba server to see that it came up
with a NT_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY. The Samba process itself is only
using 250MB of RAM at this point, out of the 16GB that I have available on
this system (not including swap!).
Eventually, smbd crashes with a segmentation fault and a subsequent malloc
error. I had a chat with folks on Samba's IRC the other day and they told
me to downgrade because it's a problem with 4.11.2, which was carried over
from 4.11.1.
Sometimes I cannot get smbd to start at all, hanging after printing some
diagnostic messages to the console. I've traced this down to an invalid
memory access in smbd itself, based off where it begins parsing the
configuration file (sometimes it parses from top to bottom, sometimes it
parses based off individual sections (individual sections is where the
fault lies)).
