What version of Samba and FreeBSD? I was seeing the same thing on a 5.3 box with samba 3. I didn't look into the problem that much, since the box was a temporary solution and samba wasn't that big a deal. I did upgrade to 5.4-PRERELEASE about a week ago, and also upgraded samba. It helped a bit, but didn't solve the problem. It did reduce the amount of CPU and the length of time it monopolized the CPU by about 40% > > Can anyone sugeest a reason for this behaviour? Like I said, I didn't look into it too much since I had a new RedHat box on order and just assumed the box was overloaded. But to hazard a guess, I'd say there might be some weird reaction between FreeBSD 5.3 and samba 3. > > Thanks, > Gareth -- but transforming oneself into a helicopter of fists certainly has its appeal as well. --Jonah Goldberg _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
