[Samba] RE: cannot kill smbd processes

[Laurens Wagemakers]

The Samba server is running on Solaris 2.6 not Linux,
I've already rebooted the server but the same problem re-appears. The number
of smbd processes are growing in the mean time.

refuse to die when there was a kernel "oops" caused by filesystem
corruption. If they won't die with a kill -9, you may end up
