Good morning. I'm having some problems with one thread of samba, taking excessive CPU usage. This is one single thread, that i can kill with 'kill -9 pid', and the server will keep other connections. This thread will severely slow down the server, and clients notify me within minutes of this happening. In essense the server becomes unuseable, because it's too slow.
This is happening with 2 different servers now. Both of them are CentOS: 4.7 (fully upgraded) samba-common-3.0.28-0.el4.9 samba-3.0.28-0.el4.9 4.3 (not fully upgraded) samba-3.0.10-1.4E.12.2 samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E.12.2 samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.12.2 samba-swat-3.0.10-1.4E.12.2 The 4.7 was updated because of the problem, but it did not solve it. The 4.7 company, that has the problem alot more than the 4.3 company, are architects, and as such work with big CAD files. The other company consists of average users, with text documents and such. Here are the rundowns of the configs. They're not complete, and i've removed unneeded options. They are to give a general overview of what options are in use. --------------------------------------- Config 4.7: [global] load printers = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 domain master = yes encrypt passwords = yes wins support = true dns proxy = no os level = 33 printcap name = /etc/printcap [sags_nr] directory mode = 777 vfs objects = recycle [profiles] store dos attributes = yes browseable = no --------------------------------------- Config 4.3: [global] keepalive = 30 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 os level = 30 dns proxy = No ldap ssl = no cups options = raw deadtime = 30 use client driver = Yes [c5] oplocks = no level2oplocks = no sync always = yes veto oplock files = /*.dat/*.DAT/*.usr/ [gruppe] vfs objects =recycle:repository /data/data/gruppe/.recycle vfs objects =recycle:keeptree vfs objects =recycle:versions --------------------------------------- As you might see, both of them utilize vfs objects. With which i have no experience. Could this be the root of our problem, and is there a solution? With regards, and thanks for your help, ________________________________________________________________________ Kasper Eenberg HOVMARK DATA Ravnevej 13 dk-6705 Esbjerg Ø tlf: +45 76 12 59 04 mobil: +45 40 70 69 63 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
