Samba 2.2.8 (JYC 17-Aug-05 version) CPU at 100% and network traffic greatly increased

[Rodney Kimber]

Hi All,

 

I have noticed a major system slowdown since installing the 17-AUG-05
version of Samba.  Prior to this version system performance was fine,
but now CPU usage is frequently at 100% with the SMBD process, I also
suspect that network traffic to/from the alpha is greatly increased
because it is almost impossible to telnet into the machine.   After we
have shutdown Samba then CPU and network performance then returns to
normal.

 

I was wondering if the problem could be anything to do with the record
lengths being changed from 1024 to 32769.   Could this now mean that
there is 30 times more traffic being used by Samba?

 

Thanks.

 

Regards,

Rodney
