Running on a Debian server, 3.0r Sid, 2.4.18 kernel.
I recently did an apt-get upgrade which upgraded samba from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6 After this upgrade, access to all shares for all users slowed to a crawl. It was possible to browse the folders, to 3-4 folders deep but then Explorer would freeze on the client.Opening files failed. Copying files locally resulted in corrupt files.
Clients included WinXP, Win2K and Linux using samba client.
I uninstalled and reconfigured the workgroup with the same results. I back-
revved Samab to 3.0.5 with the same smb.conf file and the network is now running again.
I have noticed a few people post issues with 3.0.6 and I wonder if there is a bug somewhere? I did run a trace using ethereal - when opening files, packets just stopped between client and server except for a few keepalives. The samba logs didn't contain much info for my level of knowledge (debug level @ 3).
If anyone is interested in identifying a problem, can you propose the debug level required and if a trace is required. I can install 3.0.6 again for a while to test.
I think the sendfile() system call seems to be broken in
the debian kernel. Try adding "use sendfile = no" to your
smb.conf.
