SAMBA in role PDC. Nearby 120 users and up to 50 "guests". In working hours often happen destructions of *.tdb files. The size of files %ETC%\samba\private\passdb.tdb and %ETC%\samba\private\schannel_store.tdb becomes only 4096 byte. In some minutes after restoration from backup a situation repeats. Various utilities inform on damage %ETC%\samba\lock\connections.tdb. In a reality this file appears locked (opened), and one of processes smbd.exe turns to "zombie":

C:\programs\samba>smb stop
Shutting down SMB services:
Failed to open connections database: Permission denied
Can't find pid for destination 'nmbd'
Done.

C:\programs\samba>smbstatus.exe

Having a Thunderbird profile on a Samba share is really slow (average transfer speeds of only 30kb/sec on a share that is normally good for 22000 KB/s max).

From the logs one can see that there are breaks of several seconds every now and then.

I have a test setup for this scenario at hand and I am able to create logs any time.

This was tested on a 3.3.6 Server and 1.5beta2 client setup with Thunderbird 2.0.0.22. I have one report that behaviour is the same with a recent 3.0.x Server and 1.5beta1 client.

Personal note: This reminds me of the slow speed also seen with server started Windows profiles. Maybe these two are related.

remove all rej and # files from 3.3 and 3.4 repository. this files are rejected patches. first check if the patch is applied and the remove the file.
