We have a GS140 running 4.0G version of UNIX. It is also running samba
(version 2.0.7). Twice the system developed problems whereby commands
like "ps -ef" and "swapon -s" would hang. Also some graphics programs
wouldn't run on client machines (for which this machine is the server).
We saw lots of samba processes in both instances before we rebooted the
machine. I even added a "deadtime" entry to smb.conf after the first
incidence. This apparantly didn't help. Is samba causing this problem
(based on the enormous number of processes we see before the hang)? I
now learnt how to crash the machine and collect data next time this
happens. In the meantime does anyone have any thoughts?
thanks
