Doug, Has anything changed on your DCs?
When we had a similar sounding issue it took us about a month to connect that a) a Windows domain controller had its IP address changed with b) the old IP address was still lurking in DNS that was managed by the DC. Once the obsolete addressing was repaired, Samba started working correctly again. We were not able, however, to create a scenario that would lead to the failure, so we solved the problem only by inference. The one (simple) test that we did use was to put the DC address relationships into the Samba server's /etc/hosts and saw the issue disappear.

Our samba server has been up and running for ages without any issues. About 6 weeks ago quite suddenly we began having intermittent clients hangs network wide and I'm at a loss to find the issue. The users have so named them the windows explorer status bar of death. It has been extremely disruptive when it happens. Looking at the logs at the time of the event there doesn't seems to be anything particularly unusual anywhere. It's as if all is well in the world at every level. Network is quiet, file server is fine, samba server is fine, but client attempts to access a resource on a shared drive either by saving, or just simply clicking on a folder on the shared drive can takes minutes to complete. Anyone else suddently experiencing this? Clients are mostly windows7. Though even the mac clients as well as the linux clients are seeing the slowness. Running samba: samba-3.0.33-3.39.el5_8 Centos5 x86_64 I know I'm not providing much here, but I simply can't find anything relevant to send. -- Sincerely, Doug Tucker -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
