Title: samba eating CPU please help
Post by: tariqf on January 24, 2007, 12:37:00 AM
I have an sme 7.1 box which has been acting as a domain controller for my 250 windows xp clients just fine for months. However this week my cpu usage has hit the roof constantly thanks to a smbd process. I have tried to narrow this problem down and if I edit the smb.conf and remove the

"domain logons = yes"

then my cpu use is back to normal. However this does not help me as I need the domain controller feature. Please can someone advise what I can do to work out why this option has decided to kill my cpu use?

My cpu is a 2ghz AMD X2 which as I say has been working perfectly for months until now.

I have turned on the samba log level to 3 (max) and this does not give me any useful info at all.

Has anyone else had this problem or any advice?

Could it be, that you run a 7.0 box the months ago? If so, did you perform an upgrade to 7.1 or a new, clean install? My experience with an upgrade from 7.0 ended up in a complete new install of the 7.1. Restored all data. Now I'm running stable. PDC and roaming profiles are working.

- cups from Robert
- open-xchange (with the quick and dirty trick of Gordon)
- spamassassin (127.0.0.2, bugfix from Charlie)
- backupws

all working fine.

I didn't upgrade yet following rpm's

atrpms.noarch                            68-1.at                smeos          
cups.i386                                1:1.1.22-0.rc1.9.11    base          
perl-IO-Socket-SSL.noarch                1.01-1.c4              smeos          
postgresql.i386                          7.4.13-2.RHEL4.1       base          
postgresql-jdbc.i386                     7.4.13-2.RHEL4.1       base          
postgresql-server.i386                   7.4.13-2.RHEL4.1       base          
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL.i386                 6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.5     updates        
xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU.i386                6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.5     updates

yes thats true I upgraded from 7.0. I seriously do not want not have to do a re-install though. There must be a simple reason why samba is eating cpu since the upgrade.

I'm going to report this as a bug, in the mean time please email if any of you have any ideas of what I can try.

I might download the 7.0 samba rpms and try to downgrade.

Please do not do that. Please post any followup to the bug which tariqf has promised to open. Then all the analysis will be in the one place.
