Hi folks, I've posted a message about a samba issue I'm experiencing on the samba community forum. The issue itself is not relevant to this list, but the bottom line is that I cannot restart samba - several instances of smbd continue running and even "kill -9 smbd" doesn't help... I have to restart the server in such cases, which is not good idea for the domain controller. The below is what samba people talk:

If kill -9 does not help, you have a kernel problem. There have been kernels with broken inotify that leads to runaway smbd processes chewing CPU. You might want to try

notify:inotify = false

or upgrade your kernel.

May it be true? Did anybody experience such things? Thanks, Sergey
