MY ORIGINAL PROBLEM
| Through my Server Admin, a graph of Samba "connected | users" shows that the number of smbd server processes | grows and grows without end -- processes never time out/log | out and die. This was no problem under light usage, but when | I moved a heavily used share to the server, the number of | processes spun out of control. | | What made it all worse was that many of the supposedly | dormant processes still took up 0.5% of the CPU, which, | when the process numbers grew into the hundreds, did | a nice job of locking up the server. | | Can anyone else report a similar experience? Is there | a fix?
Jerry,
Can you provide some more details as how you know the clients have disconnected and the smbd process has not exited (after a minute or so).
The clients would persist even if the user had logged off and shut down their computers. The graph would continue its upward climb in the morning when the users would return to their projects.
Also, version details of the server OS, samba, and clients would help.
OK. :) Server OS: Mac OS X 10.3 Server Samba Server: Version 3.0.2 Clients: Windows 2000 mostly, some XP.
