[Samba] Samba memory usage and IPC$

[Stéphane PURNELLE]

Hi Volker,

Stange thing, no output with the command smbcontrol 24429 pool-usage 

If I execute the same command for the PID 19080, I have data

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND 
19080 pym       15   0  197m  38m  17m S  1.7  1.0   1:56.07 smbd



thanks for your help

        Stéphane Purnelle

The "39m" and "121m" are what counts. They are very large.

Can you run

smbstatus 24429 pool-usage

and post the output somewhere?

In case, process "24429" does not exist anymore, please
replace this number with the process id of a large process.

Thanks,

Volker
