Samba using up most of the RAM

I think that I experience the same problem, so far I have tested on 11.1, 11.1-U1, 11.1-U2.

FreeNAS is running as a Fileserver for a small company with active directory. Zeroconf is unticked. Every new SMB connection uses about 150MB of ram, but after some activity it grows to ~2GB per user.

The memory is freed again after the connection is closed, but at the end of each day there are only 20GB of the 50GB ram left for the ARC.

Can you please send me a private message with a debug file. System -> Advanced -> Save Debug.

Can you please send me a private message with a debug file. System -> Advanced -> Save Debug.

Or better open (yet another) ticket in bugtracking system with the debug log attached.

We have numerous reports already attached to the https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/28585, but still unable to reproduce this memory leakage in the test environment. So, all details regarding configuration and, in particular - the activities, performed by the users for whom smbd takes a lot of memory and their directory structure are of a great help for us.

If you can reliably reproduce the growth of the processes in your environment - it could be feasible to run audit module and analyze exact operations which were performed. Also, we can supply a memory debug version of Samba which can track down the offending parts of the code(but that would have performance penalties, of course).

Thanks for your quick response. I tried to submit a bug report in the FreeNAS UI, but I only got an "Invalid proxy server response" error. Guess I am doing something wrong, so I have sent the debug file to anodos via PM.

Most users work with AutoCAD (usually with many referenced files), Photoshop, Office and Outlook (a pst file as archive is saved on FreeNAS). Furthermore Folder Redirection is enabled for Desktop and My Documents. SBS2011 is used as domain controller.

I can reproduce the growth of the smbd process by examining the properties of a large folder (170GB, 135k files, 10k subfolders) with the Windows 10 Explorer. While it counts the number of files the momory usage of the smbd process slowly rises, about 20MB per minute. I can repeat this even with the same folder over and over and the smbd process becomes larger.

Your suggestion to use an audit module/debug version of Samba sounds promising. Please let me know if I can be of any help.

I've got a hint from anodos to do the following:

Services->SMB:
1) Uncheck Unix Extensions
2) Add auxiliary parameter wide links = yes

For me this change helped, smbd is not using ridiculous amounts of memory anymore and stays at around 163 MB, even after 30 minutes of heavy file transfer.

Hi anodos
when will the next update be available (11.1U5 is planned for about 30.4.2018)? Is there a workaround/fix currently available, like pfsense is using x.y.z-p1...?
Cheers
Michael

The workaround is to disable Unix Extensions under "services"->"SMB", then set the auxiliary parameter "widelinks = yes" under "services"->"SMB".

11.1U5 will contain the fix.

Hi anodos
Darn! We already have these settings in use (and rebootet) since 10 days or so, but to no avail: the mem leak is still there (as well the crashes). Should I open a new redmine ticket for this case?
Cheers

Also, if you don't mind, use top to find an smbd process that is exhibiting the memory leak, then target it with the following dtrace script:
Code:
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
pid$1:::entry
{ @hist[probefunc,probemod] = count ();}

You can do this as follows:
1) type the following command nano /tmp/dtrace.dt (or whatever text editor you prefer)
2) paste the above lines into the text editor and save.
3) chmod +x /tmp/dtrace.dt
4) /tmp/dtrace.dt <pid of smdb process> -o /tmp/pidhist.txt e.g. /tmp/dtrace.dt 8765 -o /tmp/pidhist.txt
5) Let it run for about 3-5 seconds while the process is actively leaking, then hit <ctrl +c> to kill the script.

Once you've done that, download the output file and upload it here. This will give me a list of internal samba functions that are being called on your system, but give me the smb4.conf file first :)

Also post output of ps aux | grep smbd

I haven't had coffee yet so these are the first things to come to mind.

What is the indication that you have a memory leak? vfswrap_getcwd() definitely leaks memory, and there may be some usage patterns that tickle the bug more than others. In my testing environment with those parm changes, I was still calling that function occasionally, but not thousands of times like with them on defaults.

Here's the trace.
Curretnly only a testtransfer (slow) is running in the background as my only main user /via rsync transfer of Files in TB range) already jumped the gun (stability) and changed back to the Windows AD storage.

Well, in my testing the widelinks / unix extensions workaround didn't 100% eliminate calls to the leaky function. It just reduced an arterial gush of memory to a "flesh wound", but different workloads / workloads will tickle this issue differently. Try to reproduce on 11.1-U5 when it comes out before filing a new bug ticket.

Hello Anodos
today I put some time into the leaking smbd process. Everytime I trigger a trace the task stops, no Up/download is interrupted in any way and leaves no trace:
a) I started top for the PID (task with huge ram and lots of CPU time, running sometimes for lot of hours)
b) I triggered your dtrace script with the PID
c) I look for the log and there is none
d) the smbd PID vanished as well and a new one appears
e) looking into the clients there's still the rsync (via cifs share) process running with no sign of interrupt.
As there's only one user currently using the server it looks like it's some kind of zombie process:

I experienced the vanishing two times today and three days ago when I first used your script.

My main problem with U5 is: when it's not 100% stopping the effect I'm overruled and we have to move to some other solution (RHEL+XFS or Win2012R2+ReFS) which lacks essential functions of FreeNAS, but is stable in other locations. So waiting patiently is not in my graps anymore.

I'm not much of a BSD scripter, but using your script and use ps (and a break a few seconds later) to deliver the pid for a cron task every few hours seems pretty much a task which solves my instant problem....
Cheers
Michael


P.S.: The move away from FN is mainly because of this incident as we could not find a third party professional (we tried two times via the ixsystems web site in search for a pro and one time via the german truenas support (named rahi or something like that) and no reply or paid help in two weeks. This makes my stand pretty harsh when we want to spend money and nobody can help us..

Well, my script isn't supposed to kill your smbd process.... you can do that pretty easily through other means. It's just an incidental side-effect of the sheer volume of dtrace probes being hit. I'll give you a reduced-scope script in a second.
