smbd process hanging

[Franky_1]

Hello @,

i've got the problem that on my HP9000 with 11i a smbd process is using cpu time exceedingly and does not terminate even if the user has logged out and the client is shut down.
This is a output from top :

CPU TTY PID USERNAME PRI NI SIZE RES STATE TIME %WCPU %CPU COMMAND
1 ? 6770 root 236 20 3716K 2024K run 55:01 99.51 99.34 smbd

Any suggestions ???

We are running the following CIFS Version :
B8725AA A.01.09.01 CIFS/9000 Server

Would an update of the CIFS Version solve the problem ?!?

Any help is highly appreciated

Regards

Franky

Hi Franky,

Upgrading to latest version of CIFS is a good option. Also, you can try stopping SMBD and start it again.

Latest version is A.02.02 (3.0d) - HPUX 11i v1

Hi,

Did you check the logfiles in /var/opt/samba/log ?

Can you provide the errors

Hi all,

thanks for your replies. It seems that the smbd process has opened too many files at once (according to lsof). Besides upgrading to a new CIFS / SAMBA Version would tuning of kernel parameters be an option ?
Right now we have :

maxfiles 60
maxfiles_lim 1024
maxuprc 75
nfile 15644
ninode 4796

Any suggestions ?

Thx in advance
