Do you know what can cause the smbd process to steal out the cpu usage (99%) and keep running like that for days? I have a Samba PDC 3.0.1pre3 running on top of RH9 2.4.20 kernel. Below is the current top report. Strangely, the PDC still responds in reasonable good response times to heavy network duty.traced the log.%machine name% and didn't find anything . I haven't tried to restart smb service yet.
How can I debug and possibly prevent such stuff? 09:15:51 up 7 days, 5:04, 1 user, load average: 1.04, 1.03, 1.00 63 processes: 61 sleeping, 2 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 19.1% user 0.9% system 0.0% nice 0.0% iowait 79.8% idle Mem: 513096k av, 506636k used, 6460k free, 0k shrd, 112504k buff 327016k actv, 1064k in_d, 127456k in_c Swap: 1052248k av, 28808k used, 1023440k free 339800k cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME CPU COMMAND 3474 root 16 0 1008 272 192 S 99.9 0.0 1989m 0 smbd 1 root 15 0 104 76 56 S 0.0 0.0 0:04 0 init 2 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 keventd 3 root 34 19 0 0 0 SWN 0.0 0.0 0:02 0 ksoftirqd_CPU0 8 root 25 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 bdflush 4 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:04 0 kswapd 5 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 kscand/DMA 6 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 3:57 0 kscand/Normal 7 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 kscand/HighMem 9 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 kupdated 10 root 24 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 mdrecoveryd 16 root 21 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 scsi_eh_0 19 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 kjournald 77 root 25 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 khubd 2962 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 kjournald 2963 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 kjournald 2964 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:05 0 kjournald 2965 root 15 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:07 0 kjournald 3283 root 15 0 184 152 112 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 syslogd 3287 root 15 0 52 4 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 klogd 3305 rpc 24 0 76 4 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 portmap 3324 rpcuser 25 0 80 4 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 rpc.statd 3420 root 15 0 380 232 136 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 sshd 3434 root 24 0 116 4 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 xinetd 3455 root 15 0 984 468 328 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 sendmail 3464 smmsp 15 0 776 328 244 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 sendmail 3478 root 15 0 1396 804 608 S 0.0 0.1 0:08 0 nmbd 3487 root 15 0 60 28 12 S 0.0 0.0 0:01 0 gpm 3497 root 15 0 148 132 88 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 crond 3567 xfs 15 0 2456 120 64 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 xfs 3597 daemon 15 0 180 168 120 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 atd 3602 root 15 0 248 88 64 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 atalkd 3606 root 23 0 48 4 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 mingetty 3607 root 23 0 48 4 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 mingetty 3608 root 23 0 48 4 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 mingetty 3609 root 23 0 48 4 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 mingetty 3610 root 23 0 48 4 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 mingetty 3611 root 23 0 48 4 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 mingetty 3612 root 15 0 632 4 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 gdm-binary 3656 root 15 0 65360 784 216 S 0.0 0.1 0:01 0 X 3674 gdm 15 0 13424 2564 1364 S 0.0 0.4 0:00 0 gdmgreeter 3678 root 23 0 184 4 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 papd 3682 root 15 0 476 288 208 S 0.0 0.0 0:00 0 afpd [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
