[Samba] Which .tdb files are safe to remove?

[Peter Schüller]

Hello,

which .tdb files in /var/lib/samba are safe to remove (rebuilt automatically)?

Long story:

I have posted a couple of times lately regarding some mysterious freeze 
effects we've been having on the clients. We have now tried 2.2.4, 2.2.7a 
(this one makes it even worse) and 2.999 (3.0 pre-X) and have the same 
trouble on all.

It seems the same configuration does NOT cause this problem on another host 
(not 100% verified yet though).

Our current theory, because it started happening after an uncontrolled 
shutdown due to an extended power outage,  is that some file used by samba is 
corrupt or inconsistent. The .tdb files are currently the prime suspect. But 
I don't just want to remove them and conclude that it "seems to work", 
beacuse then I might run into problems in the future, in case they *aren't* 
safe to remove  but don't cause any immediate problems.

Thanks!
