Description Bill Iglesias 2008-04-10 23:33:31 UTC 
I am using GNOME (2.22.0 Debian) and I used the Network Settings GUI to change my IP address from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.1.100.  I do not believe I changed anything else, including the gateway address.  I was attempting to communicate with a network device I had connected to my LAN.  I was sharing some files with a Windows XP computer on the network.  
I believe the above was the cause.  A few moments later I noticed that the system was very slow and that the hard drive was continually active.  Eventually I ran out of space.  I noticed that many log files had become very large and I found the following repetitive entries (1000s of them):
[2008/04/10 22:04:11, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:reload_interfaces(239)
  reload_interfaces: No subnets to listen to. Waiting..
[2008/04/10 22:04:11, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:reload_interfaces(239)

  initialize_winbindd_cache: clearing cache and re-creating with version number 1

I hope this helps to find the problem.  Some of the log files which were very large were samba.log, daemon.log, syslog, log.nmbd.

Good luck!

Fixed for 3.0.28b and 3.2. Check out the git trees to test.
