Likewise: Situation:
I'm seeing lots (~500k per day) of log entries like: smbd[13939]: itlab-pc06 (::ffff:10.51.51.103) couldn't find service it261 In this case, the last character of the request is truncated - it should be it2610 I'm seeing the same/similar issue to http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2009-March/147277.html And http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2009-October/150998.html I've dismissed this over the last few weeks as a minor inconvenience, but I'm now convinced that it's affecting the performance of the Windows client machines that are connecting to it - a 30 second operation on local disk, takes upwards of 5 mins over a network connection, generating thousands of entries similar to the above. This isn't unique - over the last 16 business hours (it's in a lab in a university dept.), there have been ~900k similar entries. It's also not just for this particular share, it's on all of the "home" shares that have been accessed, and also all of the 4 "defined" shares in smb.conf. Also, it's across many different hosts, and affecting different Windows OS's. My primary testing has been using Windows7 - I have a lab of 33 machines with this OS, but I believe I've also seen this from Windows XP and Vista hosts. Shares on turing - Dell PE2950 connected to Equalogic PS6000 via iSCSI, 1TB volume formatted EXT3 for /content and seperate 1TB EXT3 volume for /students [it2610] comment = "IT2610 AV1" path = /content/it/it2610 writable = yes browseable = yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes create mask = 0604 directory mask = 0704 Also, it's not restricted to this particular host: Turing (RHEL5) - tried versions samba-3.0.33-3.14.el5 samba3x-3.3.5-0.40.el5 Babbage (RHEL4) exhibits the same, samba-3.0.33-0.17.el4 Babbage which has higher use (in the last 48 hours), has seen a total of 150 different host/service combinations from the logs, across different networks with different clients and different OS's.
