I tried that, but nothing is really sticking at the top of the cpu
usage. One pid will be up there using 30-40%, and next refresh
something else will be up there using 30-40%.
Today, everything is working great. The load is 0.3 and a pgrep shows
there are 152 smbd processes running (actually 11 more than when the
server was overloaded, yesterday). This just doesn't seem to make any
sense.
The other thing I notice is the winbind processes. Yesterday, one was
using 30% of the cpu and the other was using 5% of the cpu, but today
one is using only 1% of the cpu and the other is using 0%.
