Have you tried "deadtime = 15" or similar in your smb.conf? -----Original Message----- From: Mark Le Noury [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 14 March, 2003 7:31 AM To: Samba (E-mail) Subject: [Samba] performance issues
Hi, I have compiled and am running samba version 2.2.7.a on Redhat linux 7.3. I am having some performance issues with it and was wondering if I was doing something wrong. I have noticed that if I use samba in security = server mode, every time a new connection is made to the server from the same client a new smbd process is started. It also seems as if the process only ends when the client machine is rebooted. When I use the server in security = user mode, every time a new connection is made from a different client a new process is started. It also only seems to kill the process when the client is rebooted. I end up with a lot of processes running on the fileserver and sometimes the machine locks up and complains about the max file limit being reached. I have found a workaround by increasing the file-max value in /proc/sys/fs. I was just wondering if there is a way to get the processes to die as soon as the client disconnects from the server - maybe I have omitted something when running the configure command?? I was also wondering if it is the default behaviour of samba to spawn new processes every time a connection is made? Is it possible to change this behaviour? thanks in advance, Mark Le Noury -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
