I just saw this bug while merging Debian's latest samba into ubuntu,
because it had this changelog snippet:
* Fix logrotate for /var/log/samba/log.samba to send SIGHUP to all processes
of the service (systemd only)
The logrotate script now uses smbcontrol <smbd|nmbd> reload-config (not
"all", which isn't listed as a valid destination in the current
smbcontrol help output [v4.6.5]), but I still see the problem happening.
This is after a forced logrotate:
root@artful-samba-merge:/var/log/samba# fuser log*
/var/log/samba/log.: 8841
/var/log/samba/log.nmbd: 7177
/var/log/samba/log.nmbd.1: 8841
/var/log/samba/log.smbd: 7132 7140
/var/log/samba/log.smbd.1: 7133 7134 8841
/var/log/samba/log.wb-ARTFUL-SAMBA-MERGE: 6997 8841
/var/log/samba/log.wb-BUILTIN: 7138 8841
/var/log/samba/log.winbindd: 6996 8841
/var/log/samba/log.winbindd-idmap: 7137 8841
root@artful-samba-merge:/var/log/samba# smbcontrol smbd reload-config
root@artful-samba-merge:/var/log/samba# fuser log*
/var/log/samba/log.: 8841
/var/log/samba/log.nmbd: 7177
/var/log/samba/log.nmbd.1: 8841
/var/log/samba/log.smbd: 7132 7140
/var/log/samba/log.smbd.1: 7133 7134 8841
/var/log/samba/log.wb-ARTFUL-SAMBA-MERGE: 6997 8841
/var/log/samba/log.wb-BUILTIN: 7138 8841
/var/log/samba/log.winbindd: 6996 8841
/var/log/samba/log.winbindd-idmap: 7137 8841
The rotated log files are still kept open by smbd processes. I'll add the
server-next tag to this bug to take a look at this in more detail soon.
