[Samba] Error on SMB Packages

I will update the patches, but this is not what is happening with my server.
As mine is not rising on CPU usage.

Anyway, thanks a lot, I'll update the server patches level next week...

About oplocks, I played with it a little bit, it gave me a small increase in
the performance, but these few machines are still having problems. I will
increase the samba logging level and check that again looking for something
related to the messages using snoop.

Thanks a lot, I'll let you know if I find something else.

Cheers!

Pablo.-

->Solaris
->Locking Improvements
->Some people have been experiencing problems with 
->F_SETLKW64/fcntl when running Samba on Solaris. The built-in 
->file locking mechanism was not scalable. Performance would 
->degrade to the point where processes would get into loops of 
->trying to lock a file. It would try a lock, then fail, then 
->try again. The lock attempt was failing before the grant was 
->occurring. So the visible manifestation of this would be a 
->handful of processes stealing all of the CPU, and when they 
->were truss-ed they would be stuck if F_SETLKW64 loops. 
->
->Sun released patches for Solaris 2.6, 8, and 9. The patch for 
->Solaris 7 has not been released yet. 
->
->The patch revision for 2.6 is 105181-34, for 8 is 108528-19 
->and for 9 is 112233-04. 
->
->After the install of these patches, it is recommended to 
->reconfigure and rebuild Samba. 
->
->Thanks to Joe Meslovich for reporting this.
->
->As your patch level is 112233-02 you may need to update this!

->Generic_112233-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R running

->on smb.conf for a while now (sockets, oplocks, etc) and I 
->couldn't improve the performance, so I decide to go for an
