Description Greg 2009-04-30 21:23:42 UTC 
I'm trying to eliminate disk read/writes. Using the -n switch to disable caching doesn't eliminate the writes to /var/cache/samba/winbindd_cache.tdb.

To debug, I've used the command string winbindd -i -d10 -n -s /etc/samba/smb.conf The following output repeats and there is an associated write to winbindd_cache.tdb each time it repeats.

winbindd man page says for -n option: "Disable some caching." - so writes to winbindd_cache.tdb must still be expected.
