It's on Pass 1 (at about 11%) and the CPU and memory are around 2-3% and 50.8%. ...

I almost don't want to post this because it took me way to long to figure out.

Everything works perfectly if I get rid of winbind.

I've discovered something else. The hide unreadable setting is not functioning properly for an old user with a low uid and gid (below the idmap range). As I describe above, if hide unreadable is...
