[Samba] Samba stucks often (validation failed, possible ENOMEM)

[Stefan Hornburg]

Hello, list !

We have troubles with a Linux-Linux Samba setup, which was planned to improve
a Win-Linux setup, but is failing miserably:

Clients:
QuadXeon, Linux 2.6.6, Debian 3.0, Samba 3.0.4, 512 MB RAM, Apache & ColdFusion

Server:
PIII, Linux 2.6.6, Debian 3.0, Samba 3.0.4, 512 MB RAM

The clients are webservers for a high traffic site, and samba quits working on
the clients like that (but usually only one of them at a time):

The log files usually are hugh ones.

Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
