Re: [Samba] SAMBA bringing NFS server to a halt
Hey Metthew, I think you might have a chance. Did you try clearing binary data stored by samba? There's a whole bunch of stuff in tdb files in potentially more than one place (on Debian it's under /var/lib/samba). Parts are temporary data and safe to remove. Thereof cached data, connection data and I think file locking information too. Some other files contain credentials and perhaps ID mapping data you better preserve (was it secrets.tdb?). In my experience, things can become corrupted and samba fails in some way. You can always backup that stuff and try after 6 PM.

Re: [Samba] SAMBA bringing NFS server to a halt
I disagree. There can be many reasons why using a later version of a system or an application is not possible. Just as an example, I manage a number of UNIX servers running a range of very old OSes - Solaris 8, AIX 4 and others. I think the oldest operating system we have is a version of MPE/iX. That is part of how we make money. Apart from that, your tone seems to suggest that your mission is not to help and support, but to put somebody down and make them feel stupid; not very commendable, I think. /jan From: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [samba-boun...@lists.samba.org] on behalf of Jonathan Buzzard [jonat...@buzzard.me.uk] Sent: 06 March 2013 13:02 To: Joseph, Matthew (EXP) Cc: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] SAMBA bringing NFS server to a halt On Wed, 2013-03-06 at 06:33 -0500, Joseph, Matthew (EXP) wrote: > Hello, > > We have a Red Hat 5.3 SAMBA 3.0.33-3.7 Server that shares a few directories > to 4 other servers. > The other servers are Red Hat 5.3 and one Solaris 10 server. > Stop right there. Nobody here could care less about someone running a wildly out of date server. There are numerous NFS and Samba fixes in RHEL 5.9 over 5.3 some of which are critical bugs, performance issues and others are ones that make your box open to remote root compromises. Upgrade to RHEL 5.9 and get back if you still have a problem. JAB. -- Jonathan A.

[Samba] SAMBA bringing NFS server to a halt
Hello, We have a Red Hat 5.3 SAMBA 3.0.33-3.7 Server that shares a few directories to 4 other servers. The other servers are Red Hat 5.3 and one Solaris 10 server. I configured SAMBA to do the following for each share; Force User: User1 Force Group: Group1 Create Mask: 02770 Security Mask: 02770 Directory Mask: 02770 Directory Security Mask: 02770 Inherit Permissions: Yes Inherit ACLS: Yes Inherit Owner: Yes Guest Okay: Yes When the other servers mount the SAMBA shares they work fine until someone starts using SVN or Eclipse. This brings the SAMBA server to basically a halt. Looking at the processes I see about 15000 instances of SMB running. I try running top to see a list of processes but it takes about 10 minutes for it to start and then it will hang when it tries to do its first refresh. Looking at the logs I don't see anything that really stands out on why it is slowing down. Is there something I'm doing wrong in this configuration? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
