Sorry to ressurect this thread. I ended up uninstalling CrashPlan for a while and switched back to the original 1GB DIMM of memory my Pro 6 came with. And to no avail.

I was wondering if perhaps a reinstall of the OS might be worth a try? This is non destructive to my data from what I understand. I assume I will have to reinstall addons etc. however. Although I would probably reinstall and leave it running for a week or so without addons or any changes etc.

Thoughts?

    I can see that you have Crashplan installed (and have installed an add-on to update libc6 - which is now needed to use Crashplan on RAIDiator-x86 4.2).
    
    The logs you sent showed smb using about 25%. From a quick look I can see in the samba logs some failed attempts to login using your Windows ID, but that wouldn't suggest samba CPU usage of close to 100% to me.
