[TriLUG] samba and SMP in Sarge

[Brian Henning]

Hey Guys and Gals,
   Those of you who have seen my (Cheetah2) contributions in the IRC 
channel recently are already somewhat aware of what I'm working on. 
Enabling SMP in Debian Sarge via custom-building my kernel.

Well.

I got the new kernel compiled with 4 processor support (because each 
Xeon looks like two CPUs).  Now the problem is Samba.  ian2 already 
knows what I am experiencing, and I believe I have narrowed it down to a 
kernel module issue.

Does anyone know of known issues regarding samba and SMP?  Even when I 
build samba into the kernel, I get errors when I try to create or modify 
files in a samba share (apparently a problem setting create/modify times 
on the files).  If I boot my non-SMP kernel, samba works fine.

I'd sure like to be able to HyperThread AND work with samba shares, if 
at all possible...  (-:

Thanks in advance for all the input!

Cheers,
~Brian
