We're still getting a lot of locked smbd processes, processes climbing to 98% or more usage and becoming un-responsive and thereby locking the particular user they're attached to from accessing the file.
It seems more and more so, that the longer the combined path and file name are, the more likely the end user is to get locked out. Aside from that, the issue has yet to form a pattern we've been able to dicifer, and even still it only happens at apparently random intervals to only a small number of users. So I was curious, are there any issues regarding filename/pathname limitations? ie: 256 chars max filename, issues with say > 4 spaces in a filename, etc. Trying to narrow this down somehow and see what we can figure out, else we're just kinda banking on the next stable release to hopefully fix this issue. We're running Samba-3.0.13 with a patch as supplied by (Jerry or Jeremy, sorry haven't got the email to see whom it was guys). The patch was to solve the locking issue with excel, and though it did help, it has not stopped the lockups all together. We're still getting on average about 10-15 a day. -- Nathan Vidican [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
